that happened to stricks 20. when the cap is off for a long time the hull sides will flex outward. he had to cut the cap to get it to fit and glass that back together. it happened to my brother also. he took the ratchet straps to pull it back together then took some 2x4's with notches in them that slid over the boat sides to keep them together. another one i heard of he had to glass some "hooks" on the inside of the boat and use a come-a-long to get them back together.
