[C320-list] SMILES AROUND THE PROP SHAFT STRUT AND EXIT HOLE OF PROP SHAFT

[sail-ability at sympatico.ca]

I'm looking to purchase a C 320 and most of the boats I've looked at have a visable seam in the hull around the prop shaft strut and where the prop shaft exits the hull. I recall some chatter on this issue but wasn't paying much attention at the time. Is this a serious issue or something that comes with the purchase, like the "Catalina smile"?

Cheers
