Where is it located? What is your warranty status?

It looks small enough to not be a concern. Probably just in the gelcoat.
 
Georgia I bought it new I think I have a 5 year hull warranty don't know if that counts I check into it. Thanks
 
Sorry I meant to ask where the crack is located on the boat. How long is it?
 
About 2 inches one on the swim platform and I found another under the front seat in the water gutter thingy
 
I believe the one pictured is the one under the front seat. It looks like what is typically referred to as a spider crack. Most boats will have some. It appears the be in the gelcoat which is not structural. I have heard of stories where Yamaha warranties such a repair and others where they did not.
 
The crack in your pic looks as if it was caused by blunt force. I would have it repaired regardless of warranty or not so that you don't have water leeching into your underlayment.
 
I see now. The crack pictured is on the swim deck. Thanks @Murf'n'surf
 
Thanks I call my service guy today and he said he will take care of it.
 
I have the same exact cracks but mine are under both front cushions where the cup holders are. I ended up leaving my boat at the dealer over winter for them to fix it but they did fix it. But already im starting to see the cracks develop again so back to the dealer it will go.
