I was cleaning my brothers 99 sport nautique and noticed a small crack in the rear under the platform. not sure if it something to be concerned about or try to repair? doesn't seem like it is anything but a surface crack?? some advice on this would be great.

You're fine. Just s surface crack of the gel.
However, don't forget to chock your boat, disconnect it from your car, have have it roll into the woods. Good life lesson for everyone. |

Absolutely a great lesson. I should have known better but I got caught one day with the pitch of the garage door apron. All I wanted to do is move the Tique out into the sun. The trailer wheels hit the apron and off she went. The Atom and my wife's car were in the driveway but luckily I was at least able to steer the run away trailer avoiding both. Got to my kids sandbox and that's were the jack stand stopped the trailer.  Yes, it bent the jack stand pretty good!!
