Would think fewer bulkheads would make a big differance. My 33 though made out of much lighter carbon graphite, structural reinforcement added ended up with it weighing in the same as a regular fiberglass version. At least thats what I was told by Bobby S. It suprised me that it had full bulkheads about every 18". Also suprised me that it had 4 stringers in the deck which I had never noticed in other boats I have looked at but could be more common than I know of.

Not this time of year its put away. I discovered it peaking in there were the roll up cabin door should be. Freeked out at first because it was all black in there thought it might have caught on fire but was just the black carbon matt. Pulling up some floor boards annd what could be seen under the cabin floor I then understood why head room was less than a fiberglass standard version in a brochure. Was also the first time I had seen a keel stringer in a glass boat. Think it was 8" in ht under the deck and 28" tall between the engines possibly still close to 28" under the cocpit between the tanks but not sure.

The only way anybody will ever know is to use the same scale! These numbers are all done on a travel lift with fuel without fuel non certified. I think half of the weight everyone talks is . 
Mark that owned Chiro1 clamed big numbers for speed and it don't do it....Herd that rite from Gary the new owner. Think mine is around 9600 maybe its 10600 but its faster with the same power as all these super light ones. I would think the ones that have half the full bulkheads would be at the top of the light ones.

Your numbers don't add up well using a traditional speed calc. If your speed and hp numbers are correct, I suspect you're a lot closer to 8500 lbs or so to be running almost 111 mph.
