I know what you mean. We did carbon fiber last year and it was a little lighter and thinner than a wood belly. We mostly did it so our kids could have the experience of creating the layup, because the gains were small and were offset by other factors (cost especially). Still, you guys were the coolest team in Colorado last year, so I ain't gonna try to advise you. Looking forward to what you come up with this year!
