Yesterday, I took the boat for "seatrial" in preparation for the 2017 Bimini trip. I pushed it more than I would expect for my crew to take during the Bimini crossing. For example, I took the waves at 40+ per hour regardless of the wind or wave size ( winds where around 15 mph, waves maybe 2 feet). I was happy with the boat and the crew's performance, but this morning I was cleaning the and I found this crack ( see pictures). I have no idea if it from yesterday or not, but I am assuming it has to do with yesterday as I never noticed it before. I know people have cracked their windshields, but I had no idea the hull could crack that high up. It is actually right above the throttle.
Can I get some feedback about the potential of the seaworthiness of the vessel ? And maybe if it is fixable or not. If it is do I drill at the end of the crack to stop it? I should probably get a hold of glassman, but I will try to resolve it before without bombarding him with questions.
