Thinking of buying this boat

2006 Xpress XP20CC w/ 115 Yamaha. Boat looks great in pics and guy says it runs great, but there is a catch. The bottom has a "small" dent that has a noticeable effect on the top speed of the boat. He said it will only run about 36mph due to this.
I have been looking for a good shallow water 18' or so center console and am getting impatient. The price seems right, given this defect, at $10k. What do you guys think? Would you buy it? Can things like this be easily fixed?

Have you seen the dent? How big and how deep is it? I'm guessing it's on the keel just ahead of the transom?

A dent that affects performance?
Can't say nope enough.

Lol at a dent affecting performance.
There might be a hole in the "dent" soaking the foam, causing it to become waterlogged.

Don't Xpress boats have a lifetime hull warranty? If the hull is warped, I would think this would be covered, so why hasn't the owner reached out to the manufacturer to get it fixed?
Definitely a red flag. . .

How long/where have you been looking? For a 10 year old 20' for 10k, you have better options going smaller/better shape IMO but I don't know what you're chasing. Either way, no need to blow it on a turd.

Friends don't let friends by a 20' boat with a 115

20ft boat with a115hp and it wouldn't run any faster that 36mph?
Stay away,stay far far away!
