Hi John, if it were my boat I would have a marine...
surveyor investigate the void and write a report for my insurance company. It looks like a legitimate claim to me. Often times even the surveyor is unable to tell the extent of repairs needed, but a good quality FRP repair shop can make it like new. Terry

Marine Surveyor
I am considering hiring a surveyor but I was looking for some comments from the Hunter Owners first The owner of my marina, which is a very qualified repair facility as well, informed me he thought it was a factory repair that may be going bad As you can see from the the picture I posted this boat has been well taken care of and the bow has never seen any loads other than cutting thru thru the water

might be void in the glass
If this is a fairly new boat, it might be a simple delamination void flaw caused during layup and only now becoming obvious. If so, this isn't uncommon and easily repaired. By all means find a surveyor but make sure whoever you choose is knowledgeable in glass work and not just a run of the mill surveyor.

F/G Repair
You did not say how old your boat is. I would start with the dealer who sold it and if no joy there go directly to Hunter. Voids normally show as a hole, your boat looks as if its a repair that is showing up now as the pigment difference is enhancing it. I had a simelar thing on the side of a 376 which was about 18 months old when it became apparent. Dealer fixed it for me. I hate to start paying when surveyers etc. when Hunter will look after their problems. If all else fails then you can get hard nosed about it.
