If that were my new boat, I would insist on a replacement. You will never have peace of mind if you keep this one. You are well within your rights to request this. From your description, this sounds like more than a simple repair.

From Triumph's site:

Q. What happens if the hull deflects?

A. A small dent or deflection will not cause permanent damage unless stored for a long period of time. The material has memory and will return to its original shape when properly stored. This usually takes about a week, depending on the degree of the distortion. Large dents and deflection can be a problem if the yield point of the material has been exceeded. Prevention is the best cure.
