I'm in the middle of purchasing a Parker 235. I wondered though whether anyone had experienced a similar issue that my surveyor has spotted on the boat I'm looking to buy. He has spotted, under the rear half of the boat, four indentations, around 450mm long, two either side in a symmetrical pattern, and around 6mm deep.

He doesn't think there's a structural issue but couldn't explain where they could come from. He tried to deflect the hull at those points but it was as stiff as it should be.

I'm not overly concerned about the boat being safe, I'm sure it's sound, but I am concerned if I ever come to sell her that a purchaser may be put off.

I wondered whether anyone could help or advise.

Thanks
