Isn't that a liner that's cracked. Since there is a hatch board there, I would think that the hull is beneath and not shown cracked. So it's free and hopefully complete what's the down side? Someday you may have to take a 17' boat to the dump? Not so bad.
I sail a lot of Wed PM races in a boat with a lot of cracks in the liner, which happened in races in rough weather when the liner and the hull couldn't bend in unison. I don't worry about those. And sometimes I sail on this boat when the water is very cold.
Not so Crazy Dave is the final authority on these Hunters but you could have a lot of fun with a boat like this. Sometimes I miss blasting around in my Bandit 15. I'm probably not athletic enough to do that now but it was a lot of fun to get it up on a plane and see how fast it could go. I could surf down waves in the North Race of Robins Island and sport a wide grin. It was just plain fun.
