YR 2001 Stress Cracks

   YR 2001 SN: Noticed a number of stress cracks in gel coat from waterline to bottom of boat. There are some on stern at both sides, one on each side of boat approx in line with center of engine cover and a number under boat near tracking fins. Is this to be expected in a boat that is close to 10 years old? I posted last month and indicated that boat lists to right a couple of inches - not sure if this is related ?? Tried inserting pic's no luck. 

Thanks for any help.

	No not normal or to be expected, but pics will sure help. Do a search on how to post pics or wait till someone posts the link.

	Would cracks in gel coat allow water to penetrate into boat? How else could water get into foam?
