Ok, we all know about "soft spots" and that they need to be repaired. I've done my repairs as needed. But as my boat gets older and more used, I occationally suffer bouts of worry about the hulls. In hard winds, I think I see some flex going on, but then I pass it off as being a worry-wart.

Are there 'signs' that a person should watch for, to prevent suffering a catastrophic failure ??? (Things such as patterned stress cracks in gelcoat, blisters, distortions, or ?)
