I think the boat was backed into something or rear ended causing the plate to break.
Don't worry, If I run the boat in the NRKA I'll add turnbuckles between each pair, that should make my boat two turnbuckles faster than your boat and that much harder to get off the trailer and into a race.

also that looks like type III hard anodizing also ... fades bad in the sun will lose the color but not the coating and its i believe aout 2-3 thousands thick
Guaranteed that isn't a result of jacking the boat. The miniature fissures show repeated stres, as well as the crack traveling over time. What you can't see is that there is also transference from the plate vibrating against the doubler. That doesn't happen with a one time event.
As for Anno or paint, hard to say, but the bottom shows no wear wich leads me to believe it has been re-painted or whatever it is.
