My mistake, sorry guys.

If the power was the same.... Hawk 525Sc, then what was the price difference between a fiberglass, kevlar and carbon fiber Top Gun?

I have some old price sheets somewhere, I'll see if I can dig them up/out. I seem to remember that Kevlar was a $10,000 option.

...just a point of reference, when I was at the Konrad facility in April, they weighed my '89 Top Gun with 3 people and 1/2 tanks.....12,300 lbs!!!

She's a heavy 'ol girl but I still love her

So basically your boat weighs 11,000 dry. Compared to the newer (Glass) cigs that isn't that much heavier.
