Dents behind drive

I just bought a used Hobie Mirage Tandem (01 I think since that is the last digits of the SN) and it has two dents in the hull, right behind the drive holes. The dents aren't too deep, maybe 1/2 an inch, but they are big, around 6 inches in diameter. I have read a lot about getting dents out on the forum, but I just wanted to make sure that they aren't a design "feature" on the older models, since they are approx the same shape and size.

Also, thanks for the great forum. Lots of info on here. I am really enjoying my Hobie, even with the small dents.

Likely from storage... not part of the design for sure. Try the techniques you have read about fixing. They are mostly cosmetic and won't really effect performance in a noticeable way.
