My old Hydra Sports

So pretty much all of the vectors had kevlar in them, but not like most people think. Another thing I found that was weird about this hull was it had a composite transom in it from the fatory. Not a foam one, but a ceramic one. But the rest of the hull was wood cored. I know the 86 I had for parts was all wood, but this one had a grey ceramic in the transom when I checked it.

I glad you clarified the Kevlar construction claim on these hulls...

And that ceramic tranny core...all the ceramic I ever ran across had ZERO flex to it...about as much as a coffee mug...was it that type ceramic material?
