The BCB Day Tripper package entails Less Equipment, I didnt know that package was available on the Pantera Classic. I know on the Sabre its a 12 volt trolling motor, I think 1 locator and Specific equipment to get the price down for the Weekend warrior fisherman. The Sabre FTD is a Advantage packaged boat, better equipment and Ill tell you what, its easily the Sweetest 18 out there, Ive sold 3 of them and the guys love them, with a 150 HO guys are getting high 60s and 1 guy got 70. It depends on your preference, 18ft long with a Huge front deck thats nice and wide, a beam forward design, just like the Pantera 2. Or a Classical design with a narrower bow, the Classic and Sabre Reg are similar, with the narrower and classic deck design. I think once you add your equipment with your local dealer, and have them colored similar (the advantage is full metal flake +600 or so on the Classic and Sabre),use the same motors, and the price difference will be small. Id go Sabre FTD or Pantera 2, but thats me. If your not worried about all out speed and looking for a more economical package then a Sabre 115 combo (115 HO is the king) or Pantera Classic with 150Opti or Etec, then you will get a great running package for less $$$$ Let us know your thoughts and the folks will love to help and add advice.
