craig Barrie Owned hawk and was running cigarette right before don got killed. That’s why there was so many hawk editions and hawk motors in cigarettes during that era. When don died Craig ended up owning cigarette in some fashion for a short while before it changed hands a billion times. Lol.

regarding Kevlar cigs, there was a BUNCH built in the 80’s into the 90’s. Anything with over 600hp out the factory pretty much was a Kevlar boat.

Now, the carbon fiber boats were more visual than functional. The carbon fiber was laid into the engine compartment over the stringers and in the bull head joints for a little extra strength and a lot of cool factor.
