2 to 3s are hard on a mod v for sure.
Do you have a hull warranty as a second owner? That would be tough to accept if there is no warranty.
Sounds like some hard use. Crestliner makes a quality product, but no tin is an Abrams tank.

Insurance claim, they should replace the hull for you.
Another welded boat cracks open. Happens way too often on almost all brands.
Hope Crestliner replaces the hull.

Any estimate of how fast you were going in the 3 footers? Curious what the level stress this boat can take. I run a crestliner fishhawk and I go super slow in 3 footers as I can barely see over the next wave when in the trough.
Do you think its the mod v design thats the issue? You dont hear very often of walleye guys having these issues and they are normally running much worse water than the average bass guy would.
I disagree with this statement. Rather, I moved from fiberglass to tin and haven't looked back. Running the big water put plenty of gelcoat cracks in my Ranger Z520 Comanche and prior, Stratos 200 ProXL. The new Lund however is a tank and it's only sign of wear are a few stone chips from the highway. The aluminum Lund eats the waves beautifully. Both styles of boat have their place but to say fiberglass is superior to tin needs to include several preface / justifying statements.
