    Cracks/"Dent" in 2018 G23 Gel Coat

    I just purchase a slightly used 2018 G23. The dealer told me the boat was aesthetically perfect but there are a few things, once I got it up on the lift, that worry me. First, I have what looks like a crack in the gel coat near the rudder. It is barely noticeable but you can feel it. I have a video and pictures here:

    Then, on top of the crack, I have what looks like a dent in the gel coat. When the light hits the boat from the side, it looks like a baseball has hit the side. Picture here:

    Maybe not a huge deal to some but I am anal and like to keep my things meticulous. Any thoughts on these things? I plan on speaking with the dealer tomorrow.

    Neither of those are going to cause any problems. A hairline crack in the gelcoat is nothing to worry about, especially somewhere you can't even see it. The dent is most likely from bumping a dock or pier.

    They can both be fixed but honestly, I wouldn't bother.
