My 1988 Wellcraft is that way. Marine surveyor said it is shot. 2 marinas used to small boats says that's normal. It doesn't look good! But mine sounds same as yours.

Re: spider cracks normal

Have these been there a while or did you just notice them?<br /><br />These are common in older boats and not a cause for concern.
