1987 19'6" Osprey

Ok, stupid question time.  This boat seems like the desk has a crown in it.  From the console back, about 4 inches from where the deck meets the sides of the boat it seem to drop off, on both sides.  The deck isn't soft, and I would think that if it had a stringer problem that are would be concave, not convex....any ideas?

That is probably true.  Many people lay up a floor so that it has a certain amount of camber.  This allows the water to roll to the sids and outh the back.

I have the same year/style and the deck is crowned.  I'm pretty sure it's intentional to have the water drain to the edges and then the back.
