Always call Triumph directly. If you have to leave a voicemail, most of the time it will be returned. The hull deflections are not a problem unless a crack develops there. Just keep an eye on them but don't get too fixated on the issue. I had a crack develop, then went out fishing in the gulf two days and @12 hours. Boat didn't sink and we had a fun time. Pulled the inner hull drain, which you should already have by now, and a little water drained out (1-2 gal). Triumph picked up the boat and took it to the factory, added foam, repaired the crack. I had a dealer fix the crack but did not add foam and hence it failed and that is why Triumph factory took over. Down time was about one month.
Note, all the emergency crack repair compounds found at marine stores does not work on this hull. Duct tape might work pretty well, as well a elastomeric if you have the time, so keep some on the boat.
