small cracks

[snohiker]

hey all i was just checking out the miss elam i recently purchased and noticed a spider crack in the hull is this something i should be concerned with it under the motor compartment near the front

More than likely it's just a crack in the gelcoat. Should be no big deal. I normally smear a lil CA in them and wipe off quickly and go.

Maybe ... is the hull flexing from motor torque?

Spider cracks, I did not notice - sorry I did not include that in the description. I know the hull is sound - and unused, so cannot be motor mount related. I would recommend laying CF or FG in that area, if not the whole floor, and then you can CA the cracks as suggested, but they are only cosmetic and represent no structural weakness. I did inspect the hull, and am surprised I missed that. I doubt that it happened during shipping, but you never know.
