We have a 1991 38 Top Gun made out of carbon fiber. Cigarette said it weighs 9400 lbs with 1/2 tank of fuel. That is light for a 38!

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.

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

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.

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.
