OTOH if you're thinking of an object piercing the hull like an ice
pick, having the Kevlar layer on the outside might not make much
difference. In any event, having it on the outside is better than
nothing.

Actually I was just pondering this as there are frequent stories about
the various partially submerged objects such as shipping containers
sinking boats. Since I am getting closer to buying a boat, I wondered if
there wasn't something that could be done to at least reasonably
increase protection from said objects. I realize you aren't going to
make it bullet proof, but any amount of improvement without too much
tradeoff in weight, etc, may be worth it. Peace of mind sort of thing.
Thanks.
