So I bought my Sabre FTD used in June and am still waiting on a title. Apparently the marina sold it for a credit union, which lost the title and had to apply for a replacement title from the state of IL. This means that I have had to get temporary plates every two weeks. What a PITA. Honestly, if I didnt love my boat, or even if it was a make/model that was more easlily available, I would have thrown a fit and taken it back months ago.Serenity now….2011 Sabre FTD w/ Mercury 150 Pro XS, Power Pole Sportsman 2s, Humminbird 898 w/ 360 and 858 at bow, 898 at ConsoleFor lots of BCB love, follow me on instagram: @professorbeard

I am figuring the State of Illinois is the problem. It took me 8 months on my previous boat to get the registration and title. Might as well chill!Dan

Just dont think about it when your fishing and the experience wont taint your leisure. We understand the frustration and have you involved yourself in calling those up the food chain on the governmental side. Thank you for your preference on our Sabre FTD!

As an Illinoisan, trust me when I say, the wheels of our government churn extremely slow. Snails look like they have jet packs on in comparison. Bought my boat in August 13 got registration numbers and stickers May 14. They were waiting on a vendor for the stickers which is code for the vendor waiting to get paid. Linc

By chance is your Sabre FTD a 2008 with 150 HO Etec? If it has a Red Bottom I sold and designed that boat…..
