When my 76 model 38 was on the hard for an 18 month refit/upgrade I did not notice any problems with the cabin sole. I did, however, discover it isn't a good idea to leave the back stay tensioned when the boat is out of the water.
Perhaps your yard is putting more weight on the keel than appropriate. Can you tighten the jack stands to put more weight on the hull? And does that correct the situation?

As I am only going cruising for four months I'll probably just leave it. As for having bought Outrider, I have had her since 07. Contemplated selling her for a while - if you are reefing to listing on Yachtworld a couple of years ago, that would have been during that time. Think I am going to be hanging on to her for some time longer... One other thing I noticed was that after the boat has sat on the hard for a long period of time, the floorboards don't sit flat. I suspect that sitting on the keel pushes up the sole. After a couple of months back in the water the floor settles back down. Normal stuff?
