Slight mark on hull

Hi guys,

I've just purchased a new 3d tender and noticed there is a slight mark on the bow of the hull from the metal buckle of the strap during delivery.

The dealer said its nothing to worry about, and it looks like a minor mark, the sort you could make disappear with a wet finger.

Am I panicking over nothing, I'll try and provide some pictures in a bit.

I don't want a small problem to become a bigger one.

Thanks,

Jon.

Not going to hurt you’ll get many more as time goes on I would just give it some wax and polish it or T cut might take it out

As Jeff says.
Will probably wet and dry or T-cut out but no point being overly precious. Get in the mindset scrapes and dings are gonna happen or else it will ruin your boating. Prepare now for the first tube rub.

Two boats ago I bought a ChrisCraft open bow ski boat. It was 10 years old. The owner had towels that matched the carpet covering all the carpet. He described how when people get in the boat wet he really hates it. And it’s a ski boat! Makes everyone completely dry off. Yea the boat was unmarked as it was when new. But the 10 years I owned it was more fun for my passengers and myself.
The first mark hurts the most. And you’ve already got it out of the way.
