Hull defect

[jtatexc]

I am supposed to hear from SC at some point and will certainly bring that up. I pulled the amp rack last night and the bracket it is sitting on is actually molded fiberglass from the hull so I have absolutely no clue what is going on there

My '14 has a similar flat spot in in but not enough to make me do anything yet. Also our boat has never been below 50* heated storage.

As much as I try, I just can't get over it. I'm gonna try and do a vinyl design around it in hopes the contour hides it. .you wife suggested making a giant bandaid lol

Could there dealer have parked a diesel next to the boat and caused this?

No there was no signs of impact according to the body shop and the fact it is where the amp rack is says that has something to do with it

Perhaps the amp rack reinforcement is affecting the contraction and expansion of the hull in that location which is only visible now due to the temprature changes over winter? Probably something that SC didn't anticipate when they added that feature.

I have seen diesel trucks deform plastic bumpers when parked next to cars. The newer trucks burn hotter than before and if in a regeneration cycle get really hot.

I don't think he is talking about an impact. I think he is referring to heat.

The amp rack has nothing to do with it. The amp rack is just mounted between the 2 vertical stringers running up the bow were the curve is.Now having said that I like dusty my supra has a small indention on the port side in the same area across from the amp rack, hence there is no 1/2 starboard mounted with four 3 inch screws there, so again the amp rack didn't cause this. Now in my opinion based on nothing other than my opinion, the extreme cold could cause materials to contract or expand its just fact but I don't know how much temperatire effects fiberglass, I think fiberglass continues to cure for a while just like oil based paints but for how long I don't know, these are questions for someone familar with boat repairs.

If it is due to the colder temps, I wonder if possibly with warmer temps it will push back out. Wishful thinking but just a thought.
