Are you sure ?

I always thought the carbon Cigs were just carbon reinforced.

I owned the Pink Flamingo & I believe the hull & deck were carbon.

Hey Steve, I was told by Craig Barrie (on a couple occassions) the Carbon fiber models were just reinforced with a layer of carbin fiber in the engine compartment only.

Not 100% sure. I have read about varying degrees of the actual amounts of Carbon fiber used on the older Carbon Fiber edition TG's. I am sure that they are not 100% carbon fiber layups. They are still layed up with a lot of fiberglass.

I am pretty sure that the boats are all fiberglass, and at certain structural points they have laid Carbon Fiber for added strength...I think there is a misconception that the carbon was more for weight, but I believe it was more for strength and long term durability, however I am not an expert but I know in the past on certain aerodynamic parts that we have offered this was a common practice, certain bumpers made from fiberglass always had a strip of carbon/kevlar laid in the center for added strength and support for mounting points.
