I have a crack right in the center of the depression, thru the area that as the 2 or 3 ridges. Guess the "ridges" are there to stiffen the hull or for water deflection. Either way, a crack developed this past summer and looks like it is buckling inwards. I have checked in with Joe Behrman at Triumph warranty and he "has me in his system" but haven't been able to get in touch with him since last month. The inner hull needs to be drained and left alone for a while and repairs welded, in North Carolina....That may be the delay. Maybe the bow support bunks should become standard if that "really" is the case. The hull may just be hollow and thin there and can be beefed up. Either way, I will want the bow support after the fix as well as the inner hull drain.
The good news, it's under warranty and second, might get a fishing trip to NC! Bad news, it's been in the 70's here in AL and been wanting to use the boat.
