    Well i do see stress cracking (just in gelcoat) around the front portion of the outboard stringers. I dont think that the front portion of the hull is supported well due to those outboard stringers not being tied to anything transversely. Thoughts?

    If it looks like it was flexing or weak, you should figure out why, then make some improvements.
