Thanks for any pointers/info

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?

Thanks for reply.
No - I have not seen it yet - that offer just came up last
night. I may drive to marina today see how the rest of the
boat looks like. We had bad drought here in Central Texas
and lakes were very very low for most of last year. That is
when boat was damaged. Taking into account that there are are
few places where there are submerged reinforced concrete blocks
on the bottom of the lake it is easy to cause a lot more damage
to a boat then running it into some sandy shallows.
