Default cracking hull and bent flex cable??!!

hey everyone! So I have been really enjoying my Dumas Deep Vee 40 with an OS 46, but I noticed that after around 10 runs the hull has cracked at the very bottom. Is there any way I can repair this without having to strip and repair and repaint the whole thing?? the deck has also cracked too.... what might be causing this. I will admit, I was running in slightly rough water and quite dry. I was more concerned about breaking in the motor, so I was running around 1/2 throttle. As well, I flipped it and I think the flex drive wound up and now there is a slight kink in it. It will still spin but it hits the bottom of the boat. Can I straighten it out or do I need to but a new one? sorry for the long post. Thanks everybody. I really wanna get back out. I love this boat.
