[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 107206, member: 437"] It's metal fatigue from stress on the thin hull. I've seen a lot of smaller jons that flex like a soda can between the ribs when you stand in them. There's usually nothing structural to fix in that case... they are just thin. Short of putting a floor in it, backing that area with more aluminum to thicken it up and possibly tying it to a crossmember is about all that you can do. [/QUOTE]
