[QUOTE="Rat, post: 106401, member: 1914"] He asked what size motor you are running because overpowering is what usually causes the buckling, or "oilcanning". Too big a motor puts too much stress on the bottom of the hull at speed and when in chop. It could also be too much weight up front, but looking at the pictures I don't think that is the culprit either. It could be age or abuse in the past (overpowered for instance) do you know the history or are you the first owner? Check the structure and make sure nothing has come loose, if nothing is found build a brace and rivet it in, that's what I would do. I would also go ahead and add some foam, can't hurt anyway and will minimize further flex if there is any. Regular two part foam isn't structural, but there is one that is, I just can't remember the name right now. [/QUOTE]
