Cartman,
I would be carefull of any claims of boats made of "Kevlar". "Kevlar 49" (as it was originally called) was first used in boats in the late 1970's. Do a search using the word "Kevlar", there was a discussion not long ago on identifying Kevlar boats. If I remember right, it has a gold/yellow color and can be found in areas not covered with gelcoat ie; under decks.
What old raceboat did you purchase? Fill us in on the details, engines, drives, etc....

I am building a magnum for racing from the hull up. Complete with a brand new starfire deck and bulkheads. It was formally the deranged race boat but when completed will be the boat of the Pirate Racing team. The hull I am using is Kevlar and it has a goldish tint. When I paint it, it will be a black trimmed in white and red. Look for me sometime next year in P5
