Default Carbon -Kevlar

There is a trade off, plastic is way tougher, virtually maintainance free,
but heavier. Depends how much you want to baby it.

I am looking at a carbon-kevlar hull Impex Montauk.

Anyone have experience with or opinion of carbon-kevlar hull construction?
Does it have problems? Inpact resistant? Maintain its hull shape?
Delamination? Anything negative.

How about positive, other than lighter weight?

(I am a solo paddler-loader. The lighter the weight boat the better.)
