It depends on what the damage is and what is behind the crack.
If it is just a hairline crack in the surface gel coat, then it's not
hard to fix if you have some patience and can work with epoxy fillers.
Basically, it's a question of widening the crack a little, then
filling with epoxy (like Marine Tex), smoothing and repainting if you
are keeping it in the water.
The real question is if that is the only problem. You might want to
consider having the boat surveyed to determine if there are other
problems caused by this "crack".
Have you seen the boat?
