Carbon Fiber 8 feet inflatable

Is it posible to make a 8 feet hull for an inflatable boat in cabon fiber?
to make the boat more lighter, carbon fiber looks and save some extra layers by using a more stronger material.
I know carbon fiber is about 10x expensier than fiberglass... but at least use only 1 layer of carbon fiber for looks, and save some fiberglass layer by adding the stronger one.

Do i have to use some kind of clear gelcoat so i can leave the carbon fiber look for the exterior?

Thanks
