cichild,
Welcome to the site. I would rather not bring up the Hull Truth controversies over here. We try to keep this forum positive and focused on suggestions/solutions. Regarding your questions...
There have been some Triumph rotomoulded hulls that had a wavy appearance. They were labeled as "Q2" or "Blem" hulls and were made available thru dealers at one time if someone wanted to get a good deal on a hull as an alternative to destroying them. My hull is not a Q2 and does not have this problem. As Vic pointed out it is important to support the Roplene hull with the factory spec'd bunk configuration when not in the water. There have been some cases of water intrusion to the inner hull of the 19 and 21' boats but a dealer/owner modification of adding a rear hull drain takes care of this problem if it exists. I had my dealer add the drain and when the boat is out of the water I leave it open, but I have very little water ever come out of it. I"m not sure what you are referring to in regard to "Mounting issues", but I have mounted downrigger mounts and a swim platform on my 215 Chaos using toggle bolts. No problems. Occasionally a screw may work loose but one of the great things about Roplene is that you can reset screws by heating them up and dipping them in Roplene powder then inserting them. When the screw cools it has bonded with the Roplene and is a tight fit again. I hope this helps.
Randy
