What is the lightest straight bottom 38 ever built??
 
Any of you guys know? Does cig weight every boat built?

The 1998 F2 weighed 9000 with 100 gallons of fuel.So about 8300 dry. Not sure where the TS F-2 came in

The F2 boat is carbon fiber without a cabin and still weighs 8300lbs...

I heard a pound of Carbon Fiber weighs about the same as a pound of Kevlar:whistle:

So a pair of 3 drives and trannys vs bravo drives, and a finished cabin weigh 200 pounds.

No, here's what I'm saying:

F2 carbon fiber bravos no cabin race boat 8300lbs

Paul's 38 carbon fiber #3's/trannys full cabin pleasure 8500lbs

It doesn't seem right to only have a 200lb difference esp since the F2 boat is one of the last straight bottoms built with the latest/greatest layup
