You should be concerned.

These would be cracks in the deck lip where the shroud goes through? Does your boat have the D-Shaped 4-bolt anchor plates that the shroud attaches to or just a slug under the lip?

It is an upsidedown L shaped bracket through the deck . I stuck my camera phone in the deck port and snapped a pic gonna try to post a pic. Has a threaded bolt going through bracket.
This is serious - I suggest you bring me the boat and just write it off as junk!!

No sir Capt. Dremeled the cracks put some west system and glassed the top side and the underside inside the hull. Old lady is starting to show her age.
DAMN - Foiled again!!
