Thatīs normal for a raceboat...every cat Iīve seen has been built that light too and if someone would stand above you on the deck you could see the sole of the shoe coming thru...
I just "wonder" how in the H a 38 CUV can be that light?

the Answer is Raceboats and "workboats" are expendable...

Are you sure it's CF? I don't recall seeing carbon in boats until the 90's.

What I have stated about the build was told to me by Bobby S either in an email or over the phone. Got a few black fibers sticking out here and there in the anchor locker and a few other places that are rather inaccessable. Think Bobby said it was perty much a first using CF. Something about it being very expensive material back then too.

No we have a Cigarette that was built on 188th street, if you havnt noticed, and I do have pride of ownership for the number one! You should learn to write in english as well so people can actually understand you.

And it runs very nicely I might add!!! Although it was being slowly passed by an antiquated old resin bucket at about 1:40 into this movie!! :ernaehrung004: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...93694077531311


Just kidding, I know you guys were going slow!

Same here, we had to run back to Jersey. :ernaehrung004:

One thing that can be said about us...we actually use our boats while others don't have engines or sit on the side of the house under a tarp!!! :hitfan: See ya out there next year! :cool:

CF was unheard of back then- they hadn't even started using it in aircraft componentry yet. Expensive would be an understatement, not that it's close to cheap today. Virtually everything made with carbon was small parts and autoclave-cured.
