Apache weight
What is the story with apaches and their weight. I hear that some are heavier than others, some made with kevlar, some with carbon fiber. Any specific years lighter than others, thanks

The early ones where lighter, they are all kevlar and only 4 are Carbon and Kevlar, they are Sam,Tonto, Tatonka, and Geronimo. These 41's where factory built with both carbon and kevlar. They are stiffer when you ride in them, there may have been more but I know these 4 are for sure both materials. Mine has some Carbon but it was added at Skater.

Predator is also very light, before my buddy in the Keys sold it, I walked on the deck while it was in his shop and I thought I was going to go thru. I am chubby but it's got a really thin deck and not that thick of sides.

You're the same size as me, Steve and I will agree that some 41's I am scared to walk on because I can feel it give a little underneath me.

Steve,
How have you been? Did you get yours on the water yet with the new power? Hope all is well.

Just to think that Dennis had like 8 chicks plus a couple of guys dancing on top of the deck in the 2006 world champions on Fri night in the parade

The deck is strong just thin, JBonz life is great, no water time on the 41 in a long time. I hope to put her together this spring, and make a few run next summer.
