I do see a small scuff mark near the cracks on the bottom, maybe I did hit somthing at some point. I never felt it so it must have been very minor. I dont know, I guess Im gonna call my insurance company.

I'd be finding my insurance rep, I'm not here to spread any sunshine on Tracker marine, but this one isn't on them.

Stress cracks won't spread from hull to cap, those are two different molds, and stress cracks Never look like spider web, spreading out, they will be longer and in relation to a stringer or rigid part of the hull.

Sorry to tell the truth.

Never he does have a point, makes me wonder if someone may have backed into it while you had it parked somewhere. Bottom line is something definately created an impact to create those stress cracks............

These are stress cracks in the gel coat and they are easily repaired. There is no structural damage according to the shop that repaired mine. He told me to keep using it and he would call me when he had the right colors in his hands. The dealer should have got on this immediately because the Nitros have a lifetime hull warranty. These are usually caused by stress buildup during the curing process and are more common in finishes with a lot of metalflake in them.
My 2005 developed some in the same general vicinity and were repaired under warranty in 2007. I had no more problems and I run some pretty rough water on Amistad and Falcon. The biggest problem that I had was for the dealer to get the right color flakes to match. While my boat was in the local repair shop, there were several other brands in there with the same problems.
