"If that were my boat the first thing I would do is check all over for soft areas in the plywood, gently poking with a nail or other sharp pointy thing.  You are searching for rot in the plywood.  Especially on the bottom, around frames,…"

"Two choices that I see. 1. ignore the splits and be aware of them, using care to not hit the boat or oars again in the same places. 2. Take the boat apart, scarf in new plywood and gunnel/ gunwale, apply finish and continue boating! Rick Newman"
