No not yet.There are two distict indents.One is from the tie down strap(stange only on one side,as all four corners had the same nylon strapping).The other is like a 1/4 moon shape about an inch wide across the whole hull on the inside between the pylons.I can,t think of anything putting pressue there.I will try to post pics.

I have a 5 month old boat that does not show any signs of indentation either from tie downs or on the inside of the hulls between the pylons. It's been sailed every two or so weeks since we took delivery from the dealer in, for the most part moderate winds. We haven't flipped it yet. I'll be interested in seeing the photos when you post them. Too bad, it's a bummer to have problems with a new boat.
