Thanks fellas
I'm not sure were the water line is going to end up but judging from photos I've seen it should be close to the top boot stripe which would put the platform about 8-10 inches above the water line.
The rub rail is the original rail. When I got the boat it was already polished and wrapped in bubble wrap. The hull on this boat was in really good shape except for some spider cracks in the top cap and a bunch of man made holes that needed to be filled. Now I'm cutting my own holes all over the place
