I knew I kept these drawings for a reason. I can't claim ownership, but  
they should help you.

Like  Joe, I have found a problem with the hull on the 1980 model R22 that 
I  
purchased last month.
When I inspected the boat prior to purchase, I  didn't notice any 
deformation of 
the hull where the trailer bunks end at  the bow end of the hull.
After trailering the boat back home (300+ mile  trip) I noticed what I 
would call 
oil canning of the hull right in front  of the bunks on each side.
Looking under the floor in this area I can see  that there is a reinforcing 
longitudinal bulkhead on the port side that's  in need of repair but I 
don't see 
one on the starboard side. This is in  the area below the flooring where 
the head 
is mounted. 


Does  anyone have any photos of this area so I can see what reinforcement 
SHOULD  
be in this area? The seller had been somewhat less than forthcoming  
regarding 
the boat's history when I bought it. He later told me (after I  got the 
boat 
home) that he had made repairs to water damage in the area in  question but 
it 
looks like I'm going to have to make more repairs this  winter.

Anyway, if someone has photos showing what reinforcing should  be there it 
would 
be of great help to me. I'll take photos of mine later  this week to show 
what I 
have to deal  with.

Regards,
Orin
