This pic you can really see it. I moved into the shade. The dent can be felt with your hand, and really the pictures don't do it justice. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> The "crease" goes from under the lip of the deck all the way to the bottom.
I haven't hit anything with this boat. I'm very protective, I usually float the cat-trax under it before I even nose it onto the beach.
