How soft are your insides?

I'm starting to put my boat back together and I've noticed if I'm on the bench on the port side the walls will deflect about half an inch. Is this normal? should I add some support under them? I'll be patching some internal cracks on the v birth so I can glass in support I'm just not sure how sturdy it should be and where to support it at.

Dang, you're heavy!

Just kidding...:biggrin: it's probably the liner that's deflecting. The Mac25 is lightly built, but a lot tougher than you might think. You can certainly patch/glass those cracks in the V berth, but we need pictures...

My 26S has some deflection of the interior benches too that you feel without the cushions on, I'm a bit fluffy though :D. I bet it's "normal". At 30+ years old she is gonna show some cracks on the thin parts and I've seen a few and am not worried about them.
