I was looking around on the internet at boats, and saw one I was interested
in, but it has some nasty looking cracks in the hull. Note attached pic.

Can this type of damage be repaired, and what would it take?
Maybe better to just forget about that boat?
Thanks.

That is some really bad cracking.It could be fixed but would be a ton of grinding out the bad area and fiberglass work.Then the task of either getting gelcoat put back on or matching paint to it.
I would be concerned how sound the hull is beneath those cracks also.
If it were me i would not buy it unless it was a very good deal.

That is some serious de-lamination.
