Just bought this boat. Biggest problem I can see is the cracking in the finish (see pic below). It's only occurring on the bow. I seriously doubt this is the factory finish, but I could be wrong. What is this? What causes it? How can it be fixed?
Its hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like it was painted blue after the gel coat had already cracked. Like B-TV said, not an easy fix when it covers that much area. You need to sand off all the cracked gel coat, then build it back up again and get the shape correct.

you can remove all the hardware and power sand it off, I'd start aggressive 50-80 grit. A decent sander will strip that off in less time than you've pondered the problem.
