How about boats? Do they have the same issue?

It's common on older Corvettes (C1, C2, C3) to get some random undulations in panels and print through where bulkheads, etc are bonded to the underside such as the rear of the passenger compartment tub to the rear deck. But high freqency ripples - no, not in my experience. But - orginal Corvette panels were press molded with low resin content and cured under heat. They can't be compared as apples to apples with hand-laid fiberglass bodies that are usually laid pretty resin-rich and cure without heat. Even so, I would not expect to see high frequency ripples in a quality hand-laid body over time.
