I've had two Zodiac 360s and two 340s with that floor design and yes they do tend to hump up a bit in the middle. It is a "feature" of a flat air floor hence other makers fitting a stiffening board...

Do you mean you fancy a re-glue project one? Personally I reckon £250, as you mention, the very highest for one that immediately needs a full transom, and probably floor, job. And then like this one...

Hi and welcome to the Fortum. Is the MX350 the alloy floor 3.5m that is often called the T35AE? If so I had one a few years back and it was a really solid and stable SIB.
