My understanding is that this boat is constructed of acrylic over ABS plastic. My choice would be to bevel out the crack somewhat, then fill it in with G Flex epoxy which bonds well to ABS. Preferably thicken the epoxy a bit with silica powder. Overfill slightly, wet sand flush, then spray paint to match the hull as best you can.

the crack was all the way through to the inside, I would roughen the surface, wet out a piece of fiberglass with G-flex epoxy then smooth it down.
While it is still wet, tape a piece of clear stiff film, like looseleaf page protector or overhead projector film over it. When it dries, peel the film off and you should have a nice glass like finish. You might need a second coat of Epoxy over it.
