The big difference in Ben's boat is that he's autoclaved the hulls and used a high temp epoxy, like he uses in his mast layups. Thats how he can get a away with clear coating the carbon.

Most other layups are done with room temp epoxy, and if you clear coated room temp epoxy hulls, the epoxy would get soft in the sun, and that would be bad. Thats why they are most often white, it keeps the hull surface cool.

The evo2 layup is more traditional, so its going to be gelcoated finish as opposed to a clear coat.

Ben and Peter worked closely on the EVO and EVO2 shapes, so I bet that the Baracuda is a close relative in terms of shape.
