Buzz,
It's possible that it's just a crack in the gel coat with a void underneath. That would be cosmetic if it's above the waterline. I would use a Dremel or similar and a fine point stone to do some exploratory grinding. Grind it out until you've removed the crack or start to sweat. If you think it's structural (you can see daylight from inside), I'd recommend professional help unless you have the time/skills/aptitude to effect a thorough repair. It's hard to say w/o pictures. You could post a photo somewhere (photobucket.com, imageshack.us) and link to it here.
Hope that helps a bit.
