Remember, while stress cracks happen to just about every bass boat, the
location and direction of those stress cracks are important. I believe it
was Pat Goff that told us once upon a time (a few years ago) that Stress
cracks behind the seats are a good indication of the hull being cracked as
well, and that cracks running up and down are bad, while cracks running the
length wise are usually just minor gelcoat cracks.
