Me? No, I was a FAST team Marine. We trained a little with SEAL teams when the units were first formed, I was part of the first group in 1987.

The Fountains the teams were using in the late 80's were kevlar hulled but otherwise standard offshore racing boats with no frills but a lot of com equipment and armament. Team 6 had 4 of these craft, all in a dark blue. In 1990 they had new boats that were specifically built to their specs and they were painted in a camo pattern. These you can find today for sale, the early ones were pretty much destroyed in operational use.
