Pearson 33 with pressure dents from jack stands

1970 Pearson 33 Boat For Sale

I'm looking a this 1970 Pearson. Seems like its right up my alley. However, one of the jack stands has clearly pressed in the starboard bow. Its a big soft dent. No cracking of paint or gelcoat that seems to be related. Anyway, I was told that hulls will rebound from this kind of deformation once re-floated. Any truth to that? How serious is this kind of thing? I have no way of easily looking at the stringer locations and condition and such because of the fiberglass insert interior so I figured I'd ask here first.

Please give me reasons for your opinion, not just don't worry, or no way.
Thanks for your time.
Dave
