[Rhodes22-list] Hull Indention

[Caesar Paul]

Sailor Joe,
It's good to hear that longer boards would help in spreading the load, and resolve the indention of the hull.
The indention does not look pretty.

I had this problem a few years ago and Stan suggested replacing the bunks
with longer boards.  

It's still on my 'To Do' list.  It doesn't seem too urgent but I would like
