Personaly, I would keep riding it but keep my eye on it, and not beat on it too much, unless you got a few days that you know your not going to be going out then fix it then. Looks like shes wanting to rip apart...
Then again I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, someone else will say something if I'm wrong!

im not even sure if it can be fixed because it cant be patched from other side of the crack.. im thinking it might even make it worse to fill the crack with anything... never done any fiberglass repair so was hoping to get some advice.

just ride that thing! Although, slapping a patch on it wouldn't take much time. Prep the are around it, slap some filler in there and plop a small strip over it. Sure, it won't be super pretty, but it will be functional.

just sand on it and then throw some glass on there. it wont hurt, and should help.

I'd drill small pilots in the ends of the crack to try to stop it from spreading.
Then, dig a shallow v/notch out along the crack and fill it with JB Weld...seriously.
Or bolt a frankenstein looking bracket on...but once again, you cant get at the back.
Very least, seal it so the cavity doesn't fill full of water.

Fix it before it spreads too far.
My old x-2 cracked in the middle. The crack was aprox 6" high and went from the tray mat up the side to under the seat.
Also had a buddy that basically cracked his x-2 in half.

I filed a groove in it and filled with JB weld. hopefully it wont get any worse and will stay watertight. i'll be keeping an eye on it. thanks for the suggestions.

If you look above my finger you will see where I craked the hull all the way through. I went from no crakes to a bunch in one day working on barrel rolls that I couldn't stop landing flat on.
