hull cracked

[Jofly]

How flexiable should a hull be. There is an area in the front port that looks like it was impacted, circular cracks around a 1.5' radius. The hull can be pushed in and will deflect 1/4-1/2" If I hit the hull it will bounce in more. The rest of the boat is solid to knock and push on. I'm thinking I have a broken brace or stringer, any suggestions?

I would get it fixed. I just had a place where I scratched the gel off my pad and dug into the glass and I took it to C&O in white bluff, tn to get it fixed. You don't want flex where you are talking about.

where I am talking about is right underneath the rod lockers. I agree, i dont think its right. I plan on clam shelling it this winter, will i be alright for the rest of the summer or should i start work now. I never get any water in the bilge when i run, but it is soft. NRG can you give any advice??????
