[quote=UFgator]Bill,
Do you know what year the P16 was built? The soft spots you are describing are repairable. There are several helpfull articles and posts on this site that can talk you through the repairs. It's most likely that these soft spots are a result of age and use. It sounds like they are were you would stand on the inboard side of the hull when attempting to right the boat after a flip. I'm sure that if there aren't any on the other hull they will soon appear.
It would help if you could post a pic of this "wave" you are describing. It's not too uncommon for variations in hull shape to be present. Some of the older Prindle molds were a bit sloppy. Is the wave or bulge solid. Look inside the hull through the topside port and make a visual inspection if you can. Let everyone know what you see. Are the cross bars still tightly affixed to the hulls?
I wouldn't want to be on any cat if it broke apart during sailing. A 27' tall mast falling on you would make for a really bad day.
Good luck and keep in touch. There are lots of well experienced members on this forum who can help. And if someone tries to give you a load of BS on this site I'm sure they will be quickly called out. [/quote]
