   Does anyone know what hull number was the last kevlar one built?  Is there any difference in the speed potential between the original kevlar hulls and the later fiberglass ones?

	Somewhere around hull # 196 the switch was made to Glass. There was no difference in boat weight or performance. In Canada, where we do alot of One-Design racing you'll find that early and later boats share the podium equally. Perspective buyer's concerns should be addressed towards finding a well maintained boat. Kevlar really isn't an issue.
