I'm sure the crack can be fixed although I've not personally done one.  I
have a decade of experience repairing damaged canoes and kayaks and would
suggest you use kevlar cloth as part of your repair in addition to a high
strength fiber glass cloth and a good epoxy resin.  All these items can be
found at www.johnrsweet.com  He's located in northern VA  he is a good
friend of mine and although I won't benefit from this plug, I can say I
have used his services, called him for advice and he has beenand he has
always come through.  Drop my name if you wish when yo talk to him.  He's
no spring chicken anymore, but he sells these materials cheaper than you
can get them almost anywhere else in the US.
