Hit dock a little hard

[Jacktrop99]

New to me 248 “I've had 2 Grady’s before” The other day me and my buddy are docking in and out of neutral at a lower speed but faster then usual, I jumped off and the front hull hit at a 45 degree angle, I heard a cracking sound but when I looked, zero damage to my boat and the dock was cracking and rotting all around, this is a familiar dock I use and it’s always in bad shape just looking for piece of mind my boat is ok since I’m anal about stuff

It's fine.

Truthfully, there's no way to say definitively without inspecting it... which is rather hard to do from here and/or w/o pics and since "front hull" is rather vague.

I can't imagine there would be an issue if there wasn't any obvious visual damage done to the boat/hull. I think the more likely explanation would be that the wood dock, which you admittedly say is cracking/rotting all around, was the culprit for the cracking noise.

Hard to imagine jumping off the boat in that picture, approaching the dock at a 45* angle. Would mean jumping off the bow. Maybe it's my age, but having had 2 people slip and fall in many years of boating, nobody gets on or off without being able to have one hand on the boat, and one foot on the dock.
Boats are cheaper to repair than people.

I'd inspect the inside of what I could in the area and also the gelcoat side again. If both have no damage, you are very likely ok.

It hit the main hull “under the stripe” at a 45, I didn’t get it sideways enough to be parallel with the dock, where I hit looks the same as before white and perfect, the dock did have cracking all along the leading edge “not from me” so that’s probably what I heard

I’ve just never heard a cracking sound like that, but entire leading edge of dock is cracking and wood looks bad from salt water so that’s probably what it was, side of boat looks the same as before no marks and white
