Gelcoat cracking on floor 21ft Ranger Tug

[Newf]

Last year I started to notice hairline cracking in the floor Gelcoat. I don’t know anything about fibreglass and was wondering what would cause this? Worst location is shown in the photo near the front left engine mount. Not looking to rip the floor out but wondering if there is a coating I could roll or brush on that would slow water/ moisture ingress?

Forgot to mention that it’s a 2014.

If you roll or brush anything on it you will not be able to monitor any change. Leave as is and keep an eye on it.

I have not. I didn’t bother as the boat is over 10 years old and the warranty on the hull was only 5yrs I believe. Probably a good idea to though to see if they have seen this before or had a recommendation of what to do. Thanks. I will reach out to them.
