That is a long wide crack in fiberglass.  I would have that professionally done especially if its in the glass and not the gel coat.

You may be better off getting the insurance check and buying a new hull and transferring your motor etc over to a new hull, that's a bad spot to have a crack. Good luck and keep us in the loop!

By new hull you mean just the boat?

Yep, with the crack you are describing with out a pic to look at you may be just asking for issues later on down the road. Can you post a pic of your boat?

Insurance came through. They totalled her. I took the check and am having her fixed.  Still a good boat. Thanks for all the help.
