Default Mirage 270 cracks in gelcoat on port side midship

Looking at a Mirage Intimidator 270 1988. Halfway down port side there is about 4 cracks in gelcoat vertically. About 10" apart.anyone now if this is common to these.There is no feeling of delamination and cracks are very shallow.

Not sure if it's common or not but what's interesting is that I sold for a Mirage dealer in '88 and Mirage had a lifetime hull warranty on their boats. Means nothing now except, at the time, they thought they really had one hell of a build.
70mph with 330's and Bravos, if I remember right. I loved the lines on that boat. Hope someone chimes in with some real help for ya.

We sold a good half dozen of these while I was there and all had big block power. Sorry, I'm not sure how 350 mags would do. I do recall it being a good riding boat in the slop. Those Intimidators were a really sharp boat in those days.
