I always thought that it was closer to 700-800 pounds lighter - could be wrong - Jeff

Re: Weight difference/kevlar vs. fiberglass

Thanks LeeS, That's probably the best answer I've heard for what KV stands for. I was just told the other day that it stood for Kaama Victory. I like your definition better. Thanks

Re: Weight difference/kevlar vs. fiberglass

Hi stinger390, The guy I bought it from kept it original for the first couple of years he had it and then got tired of it I guess so he is the one who painted it the way it is now. He did a very nice job on it.He also redid the entire cockpit area.
