Default deck ripple 402

Hi all, I'm looking at a 402, early 80's. At the front of the deck, there is a concave ripple in the glass. It's noticeable. The owner tells me this is a common problem on the 402's. I've never seen one before. Is this indeed common, and if so, what is the fix?

It might be above the very front wall. I haven't seen it in person. I was thinking the same thing, maybe the wall had broken, or something like that.-

Most 311's have a crack or ripple on the deck, right above the front wall of the head enclosure. I bet there is something similar with the boat you are looking at.

My 402 has a slight concave dip in the deck on the port side where there is nothing there to support it from underneath. I dont think its anything to lose sleep over.

On the 402, there is a section of wall that supports the deck right before the v berth, then after the vberth there is a small access door that opens to access the dock lights, cleat, etc.

One things for sure, the 402's ride like a caddy.
