Hi Jim,
I got under the boat and tapped with my knuckles, a small wooden hammer and a small rubber hammer. Around the dimple it sounds hollow but rigid--no rattling but definitely not as solid as around the centerboard, for instance. I suspect there is simply too much weight on the trailer...
Jim--thanks for the reply. The large dimple due to the front roller didn't pop out when I lifted the bow for 30 seconds or so and I didn't check the rear dimples. Since I'm not sailing competively I'm not real concerned about top speed--I'm more worried about debilitating damage and expensive...
I'm considering purchasing a 1990 Capri 14.2 for $1000. The boat is in decent shape but has been on a trailer for 2 years and there is a substantial dimple (about 1 ft diameter and 3/4 inch deep) in the hull resulting from the front trailer roller and 2 minor dimples from the trailer bunks.
