    If you store your kayak inside where it is warmer and don't have far to
drive to the pool you should be ok. However I would be wary of either glass
or plastic exposed to those temps for a long drive especially on racks which
may allow the boat to flex.
    Also be careful loading and unloading at those temps, if you drop your
boat the plastic would be more prone to crack.
Plus on the way home the ice that forms inside your boat may loosen our
bulkheads.
Good luck
Bob
