Originally posted by Jamie B. What book ? 9,800 is what Cig published in their literature for a normal FG Top Gun in the mid 90's, and 9,400 is what was published for a normal FG Cafe'. Craig Barrie informed me that the Carbon Fiber layup in my previous '91 Cafe' saved 400 pounds. |

Originally posted by chewy1955 1) I here that the cigarettes are considerably heavier than other boats the same size. 2) Do they really suck more gas than other boats the same size. 2) yes due to more wetted / running surface in the water. The upside to that is that they ride VERY well, and you tend to stay nice and dry :) |
Re: Deep V models
Originally posted by Jamie B. 1) yes they are, but 'considerably' is subjective. As a comparison, a non stepped 35 Fountain Lightning weighs in at 8,600 pounds ( approximately ) and a 35 Cigarette Cafe' is 9,400 pounds. |

Re: Re: Deep V models
Originally posted by GLH I don't think you can compare a Cafe and a Fountain 35, you need at least a Fountain 38 to have the same length. There IS a photo floating around on here where a 35 Cafe' is rafted next to a 35 Lightning and it does indeed dwarf it. :D |
