X2 what Phatdaddy said. Used a dremel or a wizard to widen the larger cracks enough to accept some lightly thickened resin, marine tex, or bondo/fairing compound. Don't get too crazy with it. I used porch and floor paint on my skiff custom tinted seafoam green, cheap and easy and only took about 20 percent of a gallon to do a few coats. Even if it doesnt hold up I figure I can roll a new coat once a year and it will take less than an hour.

I would grind the cracks down past the gel coat in a circle or patch style. Then layup 2 progressive layer of CSM (more of a structual repair rather than just filling it)....then fill a fair as needed to prep for primer and paint of choice. But as stated it should not be doing what its doing if the boats bones were strong...
