Crazing/stress cracks - fixable? Pics inside

[fllawyer]

Hello all-

Long time lurker, first time poster. Really appreciate the wealth of info at this forum. I'm in the market for a used boat, and went to look at one today that I have a pretty good price on. Looked at the boat, and noticed these three spots that had cracks. Wanted to know what the consensus was in regards to severity/fixability/advice.

I like the boat, and am awaiting an hours and compression analysis on the engine. Thanks in advance.

Impacts while docking (what we call docking by feel) on the first 3. I cannot tell what the last picture is . . .

Severity = medium/cosmetic, fixability=good, advice = would not prevent the sale, but would effect the price.

that is standard crazing caused by the gelcoat too thick or too thin in the mold.......very common

Print this page. Use it as EVIDENCE of repair costs. Don has a price of about $ 200 a area. Hagal the price down & tell him It is sold. IF IF the mechanical goes as well.
