Since the floor is getting rebuilt I was thinking about possibly raising the floor. Especially since there will be an outboard and bracket going on, with weight cantilevered farther behind the transom, possibly causing the stern to sit lower in the water than before. If I was to raise the floor, could I install the new sole on top of the existing "tabs" that I left from cutting out the old one... Could get 3/4+ higher this way. I would also add the same height to the stringers (height of 3/4 inch plywood old floor).
