Are you planning on fixing yourself? If so, you're probably going to have to get the gelcoat color from Axis directly. That looks more like a gouge than a crack.

I actually repair boats and cars for a living. Go to your dealer and get them to order the gel, the color is a really good match.

Did you hit something? Or was there a bubble under the gel coat?
I would get the color from the dealer for an exact match.

Mine did that in almost the same spot and the dealer fixed it under warranty, it was like a bubble under the gel coat..looks good now!

Thanks for the info. Yea I was hoping to try and do it myself. I just bought the boat a few weeks ago and the boat came like that.

That was why I asked. If there was a bubble under the gel boat and it popped. then I would have the dealer fix it under warranty. I have seen that a time or two and both times the dealer fixed it under warranty. Almost around the same area. Check your warranty before you try and fix it yourself. I would not repair it myself since it is in a pretty visible area.
