Well it happened to me!

99% of gel coat cracks are caused by the owner. Go 30mph and fish only on days when the wind is less than 5mph and you will have no issues. Make 40 mile runs every week in 4ft waves and it will be a different story.

The other 1% are caused by...

Yes all boats flex and all gelcoat will crack over time. The point is this boat is fairly new and should not be cracking in those locations this early in it's service. Something is not 100% on the back of that allowing it to move a excessive amount. It happens and if their is a issue Phoenix will take care of it.

THIS is the point here that everyone is missing. I was in the walleye tournament world for over 20 years on the roughest lakes in the country and can tell you whats happening with MULTIPLE manufactures should not be happening at all in regards to stress cracks. I've seen multiple brands of boats that were run so hard they had the motors completely ripped off, kicker motors and bow mounts and windshields blown to pieces, and still never had a stress crack.

If you run in rough water enough ALL boat brands will have those. I would not let that bother me any.

Yes they do

The fiberglass company got back with me, just stress cracks and no structural damage. Phoenix is going to cover them under warranty. Great boats and a great company! I probably should be more careful with running big water, but I do agree they're unavoidable in most cases. Just scared me a little having them at the transom.

Dang, I was hoping you would freak out from all the comments, and fire sell it to me. I knew is was only cosmetic.

A motor mate WON'T take the strain off the transom, only a motortoter type down to the trailer frame will. And there has been plenty of discussion about what will and what won't happon with motortoters, and motor mates.
