HB,
It's a 16x66 Sumerset. We did repair with mat and resin, sanded and then rolled the gelcoat. This was done in October last year and the cracks were back in two spots by June. We patched several places but only two came back. These are easily visible, not just a hairline crack that generally eventually appears in gelcoat. Our guess is that when we're going down the lake and run into wakes the boat torques or racks and the twisting puts stress where the plywood is joined together. Fortunately one of mine is under the party top which is solid and little or no water gets to it. The other is more of an immediate issue. I will repair them again and patch the gelcaot over those spots for now. Thanks for the info!

TC
