I don´t know if Carl has more on this, but I guess you will never know if there is any damage to carbon reinforced boats. Mainly because there are few if any with carbon above the waterline and if so, it is most likely a racing boat stored out of the water.
The kevlar and carbon in more normal boats is otherwise mainly used in internal stringers and spots of high stress. To make the boat strong without adding weight.
But carbon as used in boats is also sensitive to shocks in the "wrong" direction and I think that outside the military applications it is rarely used to withstand collisions.
