added ballast to a boat

I was wondering what damage a Fat Sac could do to the floor of a boat. The floor of my Larson LXI v-hull has been reinforced but I am still wondering what affect it would have over time if I have a 500+ lbs object sloshing around on the floor all the time.

The 500#s is so spread out it wont make a difference. In fact you probably put down more PSI just by walking on your boat.
