Hi!

I'm planning to build a small rooftop boat.
Since it has to be able to be transported on the roof of a car and then carried by two people, it has to be very light.
The idea is to build it with infusion CF instead of plywood or glass, would that be possible?

Problems on the horizon: cost and the transom, how would I build the transom without cracking it when mounting the engine?

The boat in question is here:

The boat will be used in rivers and on lakes with a small outboard.

The hull itself and it's materials.
The core: would a layer of Coremat 5mm or Soric 3mm be enough?

The shells: From inside and out = 200gr Blackstuff + 450gr Twill + core + 200gr Blackstuff + 300gr Aramid

Thoughts?
