2006 Sabre

Thanks for the quick response. Once again shows how BCB is #1 in customer service:)

2006 models are aluminum.

Scott, A 2006 model is restricted in the dash size to control costs. The increased cost of a $1500 graph on a $25,000 new boat is something we try to regulate. Of course you can go RAM mount if you prefer. The decks on a 2006 are through bolted, thus more difficult to remove, though you can remove them. The older models had straps that secured them and could be easily removed, though few ever took them in and out. BCB

This is inaccurate. The molds are done and the propellers are cast from tooling made in pieces from the masters. We still hold a couple of those original propellers which could be reproduced if need be. The process is complex once they have a tool. Have is a brief rundown 1. There is a multi part tool that assembles to build a cavity for a wax molded propeller. The wax is proprietary in consistency. 2. There is a mold of a wax propeller made from that tool. The tool opens to expose the wax prop. 3. A sprue is place on the rear barrel of the propeller. 4. The propeller is dipped and a casting is made of porcelain and dried around the wax propeller, leaving the sprue open. 5. The complete part has molten stainless poured in by hand to the sprue area, and the wax is cooked out of the porcelain by the molten SS. 6. They are benched to cool, and the porcelain becomes brittle once cooling takes place. 7. The propeller is now molded exact and the porcelain is removed by chipping. 8. The propeller is cut at the barrel, the blades are cleaned by hand by one of several individuals. Pitch is verified here on pitch blocks. 9. The propeller is spin polished in a media tub of plastic media repetitively in a large cage. 10. The propellers are removed from media and final ground for packaging. There is very little hand assembly and once the design is confirmed, then there is little to vary or loose. BCB
