Here is another thought. The swim platform has a white powder coated bracket all the way to the left that holds a swim ladder. I was told that it was factory installed. I wonder if the ladder is causing the stress back there?

Only if the crack is stemming from that. The way it looked in the pic was something either hit platform or backed boat into a piling or so. Mine had one dead center of platform also. The platform isn’t structural and is just a hollow fiberglass shell. Many of them did come with the dive ladder piece mounted.

All good info. I am going to sea trial the boat this weekend. If all goes well, will be bringing it home.

Thanks everyone.
