Hi
I have been looking at beneteaus around 40' and have noticed a few with a bulge in the deck/cabin top, forward of the mast. It appears to be above the bulkhead. Is this a problem restricted to particular models, or is it something that happens to most given enough heavy use (eg charter work)? Is it the result of deck softening alone, or are there other factors involved?
Seems common enough that there might be some usefull advice available from people familiar with these boats. Have searched without finding an existing thread that addresses this. Thanks very much for any help.
