I read in Hunter's publicity information that they have their resins specially formulated to make them more suitable for the climatic conditions which prevail in Florida. I wonder whether this could have resulted in the gelcoat being exceptionally brittle. I first noticed this in 1996 when my boat was new and I was adding some fittings. Since then a multitude of hairline cracks heve developed in many places. eg. at the edges of the deck(two places each 4 feet long), the deck/hull joint at the transom, either end of the main traveller attachment points on the deck and almost anywhere a fitting has been added using self tapping screws. Over the last 30 years I have owned several GRP boats built in England and never experienced this problem. Can you enlighten me please? Regards.
