basscatbat, thats one of those questions where the answer is six of one and half a dozen of another…..The Sabre FTD listed above is actually my brothers. I have fished out of it about 6 of the 12 times it has been off the trailer. Fishing out of his FTD I cannot really tell any difference between the deck space of it and my PII. My last 3 or four boats that I had before I got my PII were 21 boats. The thing is that, at that time, I was hardcore tournament fishing in Draw Tournaments and I needed the big lake capabilities of a 21 boat. Once I decided to quit those types of tournaments I wanted something that was easier to trailer, store, launch, load and maneuver for just fun fishing again. I went looking at the Sabre FTDs because they had plenty of storage and deck space yet it would be easy to handle. BassCat was running a Boat Show Special on the PII that I ended up with. I love the PII but I would be just as happy with the Sabre FTD. Dont get me wrong, the Sabre FTD and the PII can both fish tournaments and do it well. But when you are carrying 20 or 30 rod/reel combos and enough tackle in your boat to sustain Ebay, and a draw partner that brings at least half that much, then you really need the larger 21 boat. I now fish club tournaments, local team events, and/or just fish for fun with friends. I still carry too much gear but there is plenty of room to store it in either of the PII or the Sabre FTD. Barry just does not have the time to use this boat and its better to at least run one every few weeks rather than let it sit for a long time between uses. This FTD is about as close to new as you can get and he was very meticulous about the break in of the engine. It will make a great boat for someone..Last edited by xboater on August 25th, 2010, 1:19 am, edited 1 time in total.
