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.

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.

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.
