Boat Cracking!!!

[Searay Jim]

Spider cracks are not uncommon in gel coat on all boats. Depending on the process and quality, one may be worse than another. Generally it is just that, spider cracks in the gel which has no structural impact. Sometimes it's because of the layup and the gel is to thick in that area.

But even though it's not structural and any big deal, it's not always pretty, but almost 100% of boats at some time will get them.

Just to add...after about 3 months, I found two good size cracks in my boat. They were right in front of the windshield in the fiberglass. Took the boat in and they fixed it right up. You cant even tell that they did anything, I was pretty worried that it would leave a scar or something. I'm sure yours is good to go now!
