Assuming this was dry inheated storage? Ice has allot of power.
Did you sound it with a hammer?.....wonder how far it goes.

Not heated, just shrink-wrapped (with a vent) and sat in the driveway but. I was in it several times and it was always dry. |

......meant to type unheated........also very important to have vents in the cover, things mold up fast otherwise. This is probably from freeze damage after moisture got in there somehow from poor sealing.

Can I just use a dremmel with a fine tip to grind out the cracks and re-gelcoat, sand with 400 /1000 and buff to get rid of them? Should I even bother?
I'm thinking of trading it in on something new.

Another thing I noticed that is new. I had my kids in the boat helping me clean it and they're now complaining about having fiberglass "prickles" in their legs. I have a few too, like when you do grinding work without wearing a suit, you can feel them stuck in your skin when something touches them. They have them all over their legs.
The interior of the boat is just rough sprayed jell coated, almost like nonskid but it's a bit powdery. Would buffing and a good coat of wax stop this from happening?

Regardless of what else is going on, I don't think the fiberglass fibers should be detaching. Something has happened, IMO, to the integrity of the glass itself. I'm no expert but I'd have a shop check it out.
