Is this arc in the hull typical on mariah's?? On the aide shot of you zoom in towards the back, the arc follows thru the outside, im hoping this is the way she is and not warping due to trailer bunks.
Photos are from transom, then from bow. The very middle where the drain plug is does not arc.

I am not sure what you are talking about. Do you mean there is a slight depression (upward) in the hull about 1/4 way forward of the transom? Or something else? I think mine has a similar fault/feature(?). I thought it was damaged by a fork lift.

Its hull design. Almost like a built in smart tab. The images are frombow and transom, on trailer. I thought the weight, and the generic trailer was causing hull warp.

Yes, mine is the same, so either we both have the same defect or it was in the design. I saw that first when I was buying the boat. The previous owner (for only a year) said he never noticed it. It wasn't a big deal to me. I assumed it was done by the forklift that was used at the high-and-dry marina where the boat was stored for almost a year. But I think the forks are usually a lot longer now that I remember seeing them elsewhere. For what it's worth, I have the original custom trailer and the bunks go all the way to the end of the boat.

OK, I am pretty sure I see it in one of the factory floor photos in here, page 3:
