thedonz- you are correct. although i own 1 of the 4 "Carbon Fiber F2 T/S's", to me, carbon fiber doesn't mean too much. either the boat will hold up and run good or it won't. i wouldn't care if it was layered w/ aluminum foil if it was structurally sound and performed to my expectations.

G- yes, i did reinforce the flooring in mine. it was very soft. i'll have to recheck the driver's station to see if it is in fact carbon fiber.

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.

hey jbk, long time no hear... how you pimping it out there in farm country....from the look of the dash pics long and hard. hows your pop? bobby has everyone all stressed out from all this carbon talk. hes just trying to push his rig so he can get the maxx boat. used car salesman are all the same, sell their mom for a buck...lol only kidding bobby....

the only reason owning a carbon boat does not mean too much to you cause you own one. speaking from the same family and me owning a cousin to your boat, its a bad ass rig and most men would give a left nut to own one of the four rigs you speak so softly about. im not trying to shine your shoes up like our boy bobby here but, ill put it in a way you can understand..... its like having a fine woman, not everyone can have one, but those of us who are lucky enough to enjoy a fine piece of tail, would never expect anything less... so in my eyes owning a cigarette, is kind of like having a fine piece of pune tang......in a round about sort of way......lol...Mr..Wonderful

LOL DAVE!!!!!! I'm not pushing my rig on to them. They have much faster boats. Only thing I say is that Bud from Cigarette talked to Neil who has been there for ages, and he said the only thing that is Carbon is the Hatch. Since this is what our next boat will be I don't want to believe it, but it's what Bud told me. I was kinda shocked myself, and STILL not happy about what I heard. I'm going to research it more.

By the way, anyone in the market for a pre-owned Mercedes? You know us used car salesman, must take every oppertunity to plug our business

not to hijack this thread, but..........things are poppin' in the midwest. the only bad thing is summer is slippin' by and i haven't put very many hours on Speed Racer!!!! my father is doing fine.....still taking his treatments and still livin' it like there is no tomorrow. his pimp hand is stronger than ever!!!

LOL!!! Mr. Wonderful, i like the way you think. when you break it down that way (in terms of poontang and such) we can all understand, for we are on the same level.

.....and Bobby, if you want to sell your boat, drop the price. make it easy for people to overlook the TRS issue.... take your lumps and move on. the MAXX boat won't be around forever!!!

cuda, guys like you make me laugh. the only reason you are getting any ass is cause you have rich tile guy money. i mean really, who would want to spend a night with some old wrinkled ass. better be some green involved, with a mug like yours, and when are you going to get rid of that junk box and get a real boat. you might get some respect around here, if you stepped up to the plate. guys like you are funny, cruise around in fishing boats all day and by night your on every offshore web site. your perpetrating a front and im calling you out, you and that junkbox formula. grumpy old bastard... so hit the bank account and go cig shopping... your buddy dave

Bobby,

A carbon fiber hatch and no cabin is not enough to bring the weight down to 7800# ... talk to Phil for the real story.

Maybe Bud and Neil are talking about the Carbon70 models.
