Yes, Jordans peelply method would help with that on the inside. But, keep in mind that Bram discovered that a rough (Peelply) surface that holds water is very heavy inside a boat where it can't evaporate, even during the week. (Not much evaporation of sea water over here in NJ in the summer, even with the bung holes open). You would have to lightly rub down the texture and recoat the inside with a light layer. worth it, dunno?

Food for thought. If you don't seal the carbon/Kevlar well, it will soak up water that gets inside the hull. I think it might be better to have a little extra resin there than to allow it to soak up a lot of water that could migrate through the fibers and cause all kinds of problems.
