Re: Crazing above the hard chine
Padre - my guess is that the forward wall to hull tabbing failed first, which then allowed the stresses to pass back to the berth platform to hull bonding, so that the berth platform is now free of the hull, to get what you described initially.
It should not be too much of a problem to re-tab the assembly, just remember to do thorough surface prep, sanding, try a scotchbrite pad to conform to uneven surfaces, get them cleaned and roughed up, do an acetone wipe, then place some resin soaked matt pieces in there. doubled or tripled, to redo the tabbing, maybe with some cloth on top. I guess I'd recommend epoxy resin, for it's higher secondary bond strength.
