Yeah, you do not want to add anything to the boat unless you are repairing some damage.

I have done rehab of hulls of white water boats many times and unless you have laminate construction...

If it is within the budget you might really like it. Store it out of the sun and weather. Maybe even get some contoured roof rack pads for it if you will be car topping it.

Most CF layups have...

Figure you could certainly get by with cheaper and heavier craft. Light weight boats are fun but they also can get pushed around, much like light weight skis.

You should be fine with it, CF is way more expensive of course.

Even if you do damage it is fixable.
