I'll go with Steve Stepp for $100.

Re: lightest v bottom of the 80's?????
 

No way. I had an early 80's 30 race boat that was heavy as hell. It still broke at the engine compartment bulkhead despite all the beef. Cracked from the gunwhale to the chine. Every one I ever heard of did too.

No "Resin Bucket" on those hulls. Just enough glass to hold the paint into the shape of an Apache.

There were more than a few "disposable hulls" back in those days. I think Rocky Aoki's Cobra 38 may have been the lightest. He stuffed it in the Potato Patch in SF harbor. Broke 8' off the bow.

I would never use the words light, v-bottom and in the 80's in the same sentence. :D

I would say Sutphen or Superboat. :confused:

There is an old Sutphen with tripple outboards at my marina, not sure of the age but I went for a ride a few times and that puppy is light! It felt more like a cat than a v-bottom. :eek:

My 30 Velocity weighs only 6500lbs.

Re: lightest v bottom of the 80's?????
 

Regal boat? What year?

Is that weight rigged or hull?

Re: lightest v bottom of the 80's?????
 

A stock Formula 302 weighted in at 7500 pounds. That is very light for its size.
