If it makes you feel better paint it.

If you don't care about the looks, it's not likely that the boat does either. The boat likely doesn't spend enough time with it's bottom skyward to worry about UV degradation. When the vinyl wears off to the point that the core is in obvious danger, that's when I'd add some glass.
