Re: Does anybody know this Cafe?
I found that Luck Strike's boat has a fantastic ride, if someone is looking for a carbon boat, they definitely should check out that boat; it is extremely clean and obviously meticulously cared for......
however, in my conversation with Craig Barrie, while I was considering LS's boat, the statement to me was that there wasn't that much of a difference...this statement was not quantified as far as difference in weight, I will defer to LS or LS, Jr. as they have been more intimitely involved with these boats, I will say though, that their boat definitely felt lighter than other 'glass boats I've ridden.... |

G- is your boat the same? here is a picture of the cabin before i updated it. as you can see the top of the stringers are darker, which is the carbon fiber matting. unfortunatly, i don't have a picture of the underside of the deck. chad |
