John,
The creep (cold flow) that is a constant threat to almost all plastic is a very temperature sensitive issue. If you can wait until the weather warms the hull, it may well recover on its own. Or, you can heat it locally with a jet heater and pull it with one of those suction holders, but just letting it sit in the warm is the easiest thing to do - those that I have seen usually come back. Matt Colie Lifelong Waterman, Licensed Mariner and Pathological Sailor John Cassara wrote: I have a 24 foot sailboat that was improperly placed on its cradle. The weigh was placed in an unsupported portion of the hull and has resulted in what looks like a dented can. The boat sat in this position for many years. The dents have remained even with completely shifting the boat in the cradle. I can get to the hull from behind / inside. What is the best way to repair this?
