    Dents

    I have an Older Ranger (364V) and it has 3 long, rather shallow dents down the top left side. They each seem to have a deepest point, and while far apart, are all lined up. I also have 1 or 2 others which I know were caused by weights hitting the side. Anyone know what the others could be? Any way to fix them? Thanks.

    I need to make a photobucket, so it will have to wait until I get home. They are definitely dents though, and not gouges. No exposed glass or chipped gel coat.

    fiberglass does not dent it either breaks or chips.....may be from the mold it was built in or someone has repaired some spots in correct

    Not without spending a lot of $$$$$$$.

    Like Rollo said, they are either from a faulty production mold, a previous repair, or from faulty internal construction where some bracing may have pulled in when the glass finally cured and caused the outside area to concave.
    They can be " filled" and made to lay with the rest of the hull, but it's not a cheap repair in a shop.
