Since we are digging up a 3 year old thread: carbon brawler. 1 gallon of fuel fresh from the water was 242 at Wavedaze this year.

It's funny reading the first 2 pages from 2010 how much things have progressed!

Yah, calling bull
on 190 RTR (unless there is some really innovative weighing and record keeping going on)
EDIT: Additional info: A 56lbs carbon hull came to a 242 RTR weight without gas and with Ballistic battery. That's with an 8lbs hood and a 6.5lbs carbon pole.
So, to get that down into 190 RTR range, you're looking at taking 52 lbs off that RTR weight. I am not so sure where you're going to save weight in the driveline.
Okay, so take 52lbs off that 71lbs hull/hood/pole combo. RIGHT>

Yup, we've brought a few ski's up here there were 210 lbs RTR in there for sale thread, but when I put them on my scale they were 230 lbs no gas.

Mine was 245 with a gallon of gas and ballistic battery, but I run a deka now because the ballistic lasted 4 hours. I suspect the scale wasn't spot on. I'm thinking 255 or so. Mines a ridiculously light layup though on a gen2 bob. 190 is crazy light, imagine a nice 900cc total loss with a 148mm pump... And a 150lb guy, that thing would fly. I'm too fat and can't ride, maybe get the pump out of the water.

237#dry RTR carbon -8.5 freak
incredible how since 2008 the aftermarket hulls have managed to lose 60# on average. My first aftermarket build was 298# dry rtr glass rev.
had a lightened SJ at the time as well that weighed in at 320# RTR dry.
Carbon KdX's with simular setups to mine come in about 5# lighter it seems.

Both Ed and my carbon Freaks are in the 290 area. Mine is with an Etx12 battery and full tank of gas in a stock tank.

Mine is reinforced for surf and has a heavy pole, heavy solas pump, stock hood. Ect. With a full tank it's 400 rtr.
But it does alright for what it is.
It's not an ideal flat water ski.

Holy
. 400 is ridiculous. If it is reinforced correctly it shouldn't add more 10-15 lbs.
