1994 superjet bending/delamination

[Jimmy Nedwick]

Hey guys I bought this 1994 superjet and it seems to have this dent/bow on the side. Not sure what caused this. I was wondering if this is repairable or what caused this, or if it’s necessary to repair

Usually when it’s bowed in on the sides above the tray it’s waterlogged but, that’s a strange area to be shaped like that.

The Metton material flexes and bows especially with heat. I have a square that was on fire at one point and it’s all bowed and dimpled. That bow looks like it’s in line with the bulkhead. I wouldn’t worry about it as it’s not delamination

From what I've seen, they are all a bit wavy down the sides. I believe it's just the glass shrunk up over the years, not even an issue. Look up under the rail lips on each rear corner and see if you have cracks, also common. Another thing is usually they are bowed down some on the front hood sealing lip.

I’ve seen that happen in the right rear due to excessive heat from the exhaust, but the only time I’ve seen it all over the ski was in an old 90s super jet.

All my squarenose superjets I ever owned were wavy like that, maybe not always that bad, but I would definitely consider this normal.
