Cracked Up!

[jetboatn]

OK...1994 Hunter 23.5- First sailboat, first year to sail and loving it!!! Problem, hairline and bigger cracks on topside. Mainly around corners and hatch areas! Should I sell this boat or sail it? I have been looking at other models for sale but have not found one in my price range that I like as much as the one I have. These cracks are about to convince me to sell it and find something else! Please help! Thanks, in Southeast TX

Is it crazing or actual cracks? One is cosmetic and the other isn't. SC

I have never really seen a fiberglass boat that dosent have those hairline cracks, they are usually just stress cracks in the gel coat.

I have a few on my 25.5. It's not leaking. I say if it's not sinking, sail it and have fun!

Does not leak. Looks more like its mainly in the gell coat. I guess it will be ok! Thanks
