our boat doesnt hop under 70mph. we run it routinely in the ct river where its glass. just a fyi.

sadly we are all in agreement, yet some dont think there is a 2k lb minimum weight difference between flat bottom and t/s boats...but whatever.

I honestly don't know the weights so I can't comment. i know my straight gun held 220 gallons and the T/S holds about 165 so that is some weight

there isn't. show me where all the weight went. my buddies 02 ts was 9700 lbs and my buddies kevlar straight bottom is 9500. what does your 94 weigh? if it's glass 10,500, kevlar 9500, carbon 8400

But don't you need like 600hp to run 70+ in a straight bottom jk. :party-smiley-004:
This thread alone has softened the market on 38 TG straight bottoms even further

There`s no way. Weight on a scale? With motors and drives?
A 33Outlaw is 12K on a trailer. I don`t think Cig is making boats out of packing peanuts.

my title on my 37 ol says 9200, my 38 cig 8400, my 41 apache 10.500, my 41 velocity 11000, 27 mag 7000, maybe the title was just kidding dk.

yes you do, my first 92 kevlar gun had hawk 600's and trs and went 73. you had to drive around wot all day to keep out of the hop. yes, 73 with 600's. when they blew up i put 502 535 hp(dyno) motors in and it wouldn't break 70, i think the best i saw was 69. the boat weighed in at 9500 lbs.
