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

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
