Help, I am new to Hobie Cat's. I am restoring a 73 with great hulls. My problem is when I turned them over from a 2 day cure on a paint job, they were dented in slightly where they were resting on sawhorses. Will they pop back out when they get hot again, or did I mess them up pemanently?

Are you sure you don't have any soft spots?? The deck should not dent when just supporting the weight of the hull. Did you use any padding? You may have compressed the foam core. In any case, I doubt it will 'pop' back, if your hulls are doing any popping, then they have problems.
