Sun Damage on Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey Guys,

My friend has a kayak that has been stored outside for a loooonnnggg time! I think around 2 years without any use. Anyways, we were going to go on a trip soon and I was wondering from a safety aspect, is it ok for a kayak to be exposed to sunlight like that for so long or has it weakened the hull to the point of being dangerously thin?

Maybe I am too concerned....
