I would send a digital picture to Kent Nelson at Catalina and inquire about
the issue. He is responsive and knows these hulls.

Subject: [C320-list] Gel-coat crack in Hull

I have a 2004 320 #983 and have just discovered a crack in the Gel-Coat on
the Starboard Side close to where, I would assume, the Hull-Transom joint is
positioned. The crack is about 4 - 5 inches long and starts in the Lower -
Strip and extends downward. The crack is about 1/8" to 1/4" in from the
actual corner of the transom.

Has anyone else experienced this type of crack, should I consider it a
serious problem?
