I am curious about this too. I have read some rebuild threads and I recall reading about raising the deck 2" and 4" but I cannot say which thread I found this in. I measured a friends 1976 SF - I think this model year would have had a higher deck from the factory. This one is not self-bailing but that has less to do with the deck height and more to do with having a 250 Optimax on an aluminum bracket.
It would be nice to get comparative numbers from someone here who raised their deck.
