Capt. Brad, wet feet are sometimes good, around here, it's usually from early July to mid September, then wet feet become a problem!

The high gunnels are something I love about that boat....If I do raise the deck an inch or two probably won't make a difference. AFter looking her over closer, I think that when I do raise the deck I'll get rid of the drainage channel thereby raising the corner scuppers themselves an inch or two.

I'll be following your advice and removing the top cap, then reglassing the top-cap. The way it is now it's rather weak. Did you core the top-cap or just add some fiberglass. I'd like to add ribs or stringers between the inside of the top-cap and theside of the hull.
