His names’ Lebowski, that’s your name dude.
Favorite movie of all time.
But yes, as of right now the Sabre is not in production. It may come back, but the market has definitely shifted away from smaller boats. That said the Bobcat being wider up front and just a touch shorter is probably consuming a few Sabre sales and its not a whole lot more to step into the P2. I think if the Sabre comes back, there may be some retooling done to the top cap to make it more current as the Sabre and P2 share the same top cap design, with the P2 being stretched another foot on the front deck (maybe a little in the cockpit too). I’ve been hoping for years that the Sabre and P2 would get a top cap update to freshen them up. I don’t mind one bit that they are narrow up front, I absolutely love my P2. But there are a few tweaks I would do that could make it the ultimate 19 footer.
One factor that seems to be forgotten by the manufacturers is not everyone has a garage that can fit a 20 foot boat, and some don’t even have room for a 19 footer. Being able to fit the boat into the garage is absolutely the number 1 consideration that I look at when evaluating boats. I am in an even tougher spot than most because not only am I limited in length, but also height. My garage door is only 5′-11″ clear when open, so with my P2 I have to tilt the motor down to fit under the door on the garage and the leaning seat post has to be collapsed down to the lowest setting to slide under the door. I bumped out the back of my garage by about 8″ as well so that I could get the boat in there with the motor down and the swing tongue folded. I have about 4″ to spare with the P2 in there but I don’t have to go at an angle and the door still closes.
