I have a 16 ft with fins that I think is a Blue Saber.

I am going to do a restore on the boat... but a practical working restore as I plan to use and enjoy it...

Its super cool... what sold me was the cool jumper seats came paired with a 1967 Evinrude selectric shift 40hp... I am guessing the boat is from the 1950ies so this is likely a repower... also came with a good trailer... I paid $1200 for it with motor and trailer from an old guy who bought it from an even older guy...

The boat is in surprising good shape overall... really it just need some TLC... the anodizing is rough and worn and the anodizing on the hood is gone but I like the old patina on the boat so I plan to leave the finish and just clean it up as best I can...

I might need to paint the hood as someone before me went at it with a wire wheel by the looks...

I will redo the jump seats... they list those as trolling seats on the brochure which makes sense... in any event they are super cool...

I have the frame from the convertible top the canvas is a memory... and I have a couple of the old spring seat cushions which are rough but salvageable.
