Weird Cracks in Bilge

Doing a pre purchase Survey check on a leopard 38, and noticed a few weird cracks in the bilge area. It is only on the starboard side. How common are these?

Rest of the boat is clean. No signs of delamination or water intrusion in the hull

Re: Weird Cracks in Bilge

It’s hard to tell, but it looks like mouldings that’s have been bonded in with filler (bog) have let go.

Cheap and nasty way to bond stuff in. Obviously not up to the job, and doesn’t bode well for the rest of the construction.

Agree with Slug, slack workmanship/ cheap filler.
