I've got a hair line crack in the deck of my boat about 6" above the deck/hull joint. You have to really look to see it and its has not spread. I am looking for something to fix it with. Any thoughts on Ever Coat products or any other suggestions?

Is it a new or older boat? Does it have custom gel/paint? What kind of boat is it?

1999 Envision. No custom graphics or paint and the crack is only in the white.

It's a stress crack, our boat has a couple and I researched getting them fixed. From what I found is you can spend the time and effort to fix them and more than likely they will just reappear...

Unless it is fixed properly, it will come back. You will need to grind out the crack, extending beyond it on both sides, fill with resin, and finish with gel. If you don't have experience with this and it's in a conspicuous place, I would recommend having someone do it for you.
