• 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
            • In either case
          • I'd give it a bit of time, maybe some heat to warm the area a bit.........

                          • One last thought about the repair
                            • I don't like the idea...
                              • NOT 5200, epoxy if you're going to that method.
                                • P.S. Top hole and bottom hole only the size of the tip of the syringe, about 1/8" diameter or so.
                            • If you had gone ahead with the repair when you started this thread...
                      • Very nice. We had a T37 and it was so much smaller inside
