I am ready to sea trial a pristine 35 First 1985. Looks like a time capsule inside and out. Bells and whistles. The broker, who I consider a friend, has let me know and offered full documentation by Beneteau company reps who saw it, that when the boat way on the hard for bottom painting, that forward of amidships starboard there was a slight impression of the pad of the hull that straighened out when the boat was put back in the water.
The area effeced was about a foot long as an elipse and at the time any repai would have cost about 900 dollars to cut it out etc. Money was not an object at the time of the bottom job and so it was not done.
Has anyone heard of this deformation and any likely causes besides the obvious of too thin. The liner inside apparentlyl did not allow them to see if there were any structural problems
