Gel crack!
Either somethings not flat where your mount is and putting that area in a stress when bolted down or it coming from a drilled hole.
Any hole drilled through gelcoat should be beveled to help avoid cracks. One good way is to use a larger size drill running in reverse to bevel the gel at the hole.

As stated...make sure to chamfer any holes. You can drill a microscopic hole at the end of the crack and it won’t run. Barely touch the gel with the bit.

I have a appointment with the glass guy . Holes were beveled . He said he will drill a small hole to stop it and than seal the crack . A total fix would be $1500.00 Cdn
That’s sounds kinda buttttt....I’d want it fixed. Do you need Alfa Jewel Flake? That looks like the color...?

We used to do what crank said with old persimmon wood golf clubs, worked most of the time
Pretty sure you can call the factory with serial # and they can tell you anything you want to know about it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Want to buy old river2sea bully wa frogs.
Call Tom at the plant with the serial #. Also Tom can prolly tell you by the pics. Don’t forget I may have flake if it’ll save you some money.
