During a survey today, we found a soft spot on the starboard side above the waterline, just below the lower helm station. As this is a solid fiberglass hull....no core, I believe, I am concerned.

The area is roughly 36" square and I can flex the hull in a few millimetres with thumb pressure.

On the port side, back near the transom and below the waterline, the moisture meter spiked along a 25-30" strip, maybe 6" high.

At this point, I stopped the survey, believing that the boat was likely hit at some point on the starboard side and water has penetrated at the transom.

I would value your thoughts.
 
Don't know about construction of a 2014, but my 2009 is cored! Pictures of various pieces of hull material that has been removed for modifications are in my photo album. Why do you think this boat was constructed not using cored fiberglass? Bob
