Weight of Topgun with 6 drives
A friend of mine is looking at a rigged topgun straight bottom hull no power with wet number sixes . Does anyone here know what a rigged topgun weights with six drives ? Thanks RG.

What is the hull material? Carbon, Kevlar, or glass? Outlaw is probably pretty close, but if it's a glass boat, I would say closer to 11k without fuel maybe even a touch over .

I have a 1994 Cigarette Top Gun flat bottom with a notched transom and the boat came with bravo 1 drives. I have Arneson drives now. The manual reads that DRY weight is 11,500lbs with the twin 600 hawk motors and bravo 1 drives. The boat holds 220 gallons which is 1320lbs. 6lbs per gallon. Total boat weight is 12820lbs without people, water in the tank, beer, anchors, ropes, finders, etc.

Zero I believe it , I had a feeling they were heavier than 12 k pounds I think my Kevlar flat deck with 5 weights 12,000 pounds . Thanks for the info.

How crap Dan that's more than I thought. I am guessing full load of gear ? Mind you that would include the weight of the trailer . Still that's about 2,500 more pounds than I would have guessed. The sad part mine being a Kevlar hull I'm told its only good for about a 500 to 800 lb weight savings.

I thought the Kevlar was at least 1200# lighter, they stick out of the water quite a bit more than a regular layup.
I had gear in there but a couple of bags of clothes and some pillows and blankets isn`t breaking the scale.
Id imagine boxes and #4 weight as much as a #6
With a wave killer come great responsibilty
People wonder why I think my 8.1l is weak .. well look at the job its tasked to do.
