[CHANCE1234]

So I got 1 sheet of 3/4 marine ply and cut into strips to raise the stringers. 3 strips per stringer for a total raise supposedly of 2 1/4 inch so far. However I'm only gaining about an inch on the side stringers and 1 1/2 inch or so on the two middle stringers. As I mentioned earlier the old deck sat diretcly on top of the old stringers up forward but about 3/4 inch off the deck on potter putty back aft. There will a 1/2 inch deck on top of everything. Does anyone else's deck not sit directly on the stringers back aft? So I won't be sacrificing too much freeboard as originally thought. Hopefully it will be enough height to exit scuppers out the back when everything is said and done and glasses in place.
