flat spot in hull
just bought an old boat. It had been resting too heavily on one particular stand while on the hard and it left a flat spot in the hull when it was removed. Will this ease back out after a while or does something need to be done to get back to the original shape?

- flat spot in hull
- How much of a deflection? Is it near a stringer or bulkhead? How near the waterline?
- Is it cored?
- If it is cored and crushed, it is a different issue and needs to be fixed.
- Agreed
- yes, it cored
- Grind, replace core, re-glass, barrier coat, bottom paint
- Or cut out surface
- I'd give it a bit of time, maybe some heat to warm the area a bit.........
- Bondo?
- I would have a yard look at it.
