I have had the go fast real fast boats and I have had the in between boats, all the way down to just getting rid of my duck boat with 60 hp yamaha I have fished out of for the last 4 years, decided I wanted to go back to a glass boat for a while. Basscat seamed like the best boat for me.

Thanks, I will post picture if and when i get to see it myself. I know I have to wait, but this is torture.

I did bite the bullet and put the 175 pro xs on mine. I am ready to get it and start playing with props and set up. I wont be happy till I know she is running her very best top end with the best hole shot possible. If my dealer is correct I will see it for the first time today or tomorrow as he said it would be here the week of the 4th.Last edited by muddywaters on April 7th, 2016, 1:56 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Like I said I am still learning how a cat runs, I may have over trimmed it , but dont think so since I was still only at 5100 rpm. My past few boats you held the trim till it didnt lift no more to run them. Cats a whole new boat to me. I am still learning its cat like ways. Btw I had not gotten trimmed out to the point of chine walk or any kind of wheel torque. I can tell already tho that I am gonna be a huge fan of BassCat boats. I like the sabre a lot already and I aint even seen its full potential.

Thanks for the comments, I am experienced with HP hulls for sure, go fast is in my blood, always has been. I wont name brands outside of basscat here since its a basscat forum, Hint: those things that you shoot out of a gun that a certain boat is named after is the HP hull I am familiar with and they run flat as well. Just trying to get input on what folks had to say about basscat sabre hull and trim heights. There is no way a person can argue with experience. And to see what kind of water pressure others are experiencing at wot and throughout the ranges. I am tickled to death with my sabre so far, handles like a sports car, its nimble and quick, and holeshot, wow does the sabre have a hole shot, quickest holeshot of any boat i have ever owned.

175 pro xs on my sabre

I am in Arkansas. I will try to get a picture and see if I can figure out how to upload it. The plate is 3/4″ of a inch lower than flush now. The throttle travel is fully extended.

There is a 1 to 1-1/2 second window where the motor starts to capitate when breaking to plane, as soon as that cavitation is quiet I hit the trim lever and start coming up.

Very purdy Sabre, Congratz! Looks like the Crowds have gather for a test ride.

[muddywaters]

1/8th inch to 1/4 inch increments.

If the individual you bought the boat from cant produce a title, you will more than likely have to register for a lost title and get a replacement. The last time I had any dealings with a lost title replacement it took about 8 weeks to get the new title. Dealing with the D.F.A. ( dept. of Finance and administration) usually leaves me confused as well.

To much weight behind the axle will cause excessive sway as well, usually comes into play when the tounge weight is to light. I know it is a silly question but will ask it anyways, Is the boat all the way forward on the trailer up to the front roller. Is it worse when the fuel tank is full vs empty.

[muddywaters]

I agree, its silly that they dont have equal and like laws, I bought a boat out of Tenn. once and it was a paperwork nightmare, swore I would never buy another boat from out of state, And I purchased it thru a dealer. Glad to hear that you may have a resolve to the issue.
