Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said so all I can say is Wow !!! I'm in love !!!
I will add that I have always loved the lines of the 36's with their flat decks that perfectly flow down into the flat gunnels.. I was just talking about this yesterday with a friend about how thats one of my favorite features of the Saber, it always reminds me of the classic flat deck cigs.

What made the 35'with the 8 foot beam such a superior hull over the 9' 6" hull ? The width at the chine area seems like it would be the same, as the 36 hull gets its beam from the flared out concave topsides as opposed to the slab sided convex topsides of the 35.

07-03-2009 07:51 AMI think it's really cool that the boat getting the most buzz and enthusiastic responses on this site is a low-tech, conventional hulled, sub 100 mph, simply painted, old school boat!!! This is great!!!!!!

07-03-2009 09:31 AMThe way to make a deep vee go faster is to get as much of the boat out of the water as you can.....hence the benefit of trimming the boat up.
The 35 actually had a design feature at the rear of the bottom that produced that lift at speed....therefore you didn't use as much HP to get the boat going. The 36 was perfectly straight all the way to the transom and you had to trim to get it up.
Richie Powers was the first to discover this feature and after his first water test of the boat, he came back and told Don...."This boat is Awesome." Don used that Awesome as the name of one of the 35 models....the other was the Mistress.Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

07-03-2009 11:55 AMIf you look at the brochure photos, you'll see that example has the later-style deck. The gunwhales are narrower and the windshield extends backwards and ties into the engine hatch surround.
You get a wider cockpit, but it loses that old-school look. The original 36 carried alot of the Magnum design influences.
