hull deflection

I took a second look at a Tanzer 22 today. The boat seems to be generally in good shape but I noticed something on my second tour.

The hull, which is in otherwise great shape, is deflected underneath the pads on the trailer. There are no obvious signs of stress around the depressions. I know that the boat has been sitting on this trailer for at least a year (maybe 2). BTW - the pads are not adjustable height-wise.

Is this deflection permanent, will it rebound when the stress of the pads is removed? Should I run in the other direction?
