Cracking Gel Coat in New Hull

[Saberkitty04]

I had a 2004 Seaswirl that bubbled. After research i found thaty VEC hulls were known for that. Traded for a 2005 Seaswirl Deck boat. One year later and many repairs later, there is a crack that runs the length of the back bottom corner of hull, below motor. This goes from side to side of boat. Any suggestions?

If we can get out of this one, that is just what i intent. Maybe Formula or Baja...more $$$ but well worth it! So far it has been 3 days and dealer has yet to contact the manufactuer. I'll have to take matters into my hands soon.
