Default 1984 30 Cougar Cat with Arneson drives

I purchased a 30' Cougar Cat with Arneson out drives a few years back and I have been hearing rumors about this boat belonging to Ross Perot. Does anyone know how I can figure this out? I have tried to research the serial number with no luck.

When I worked at Cougar I Painted Ross Perot's 30' Cat. It had Orange & Blue stripes. It was the 1st 30' that was made of Kevlar. Had Counter Rotating motors. He spared No Expense. Lets see some Pics..

I am trying to post pics but I am having some trouble trying to upload them. The boat had counter rotating engines. The paint is very faded and I'm not sure on true color. I have also been told the hull is Kevlar but I'm not sure how I can tell.

If you can find a spot where you can see raw glass (on the inside) it will look Yellow/Goldish color.
