Due to my Tsunami being used primarily as a dive boat it was absolutely necessary to raise the deck 2 full inches. Even with the twin Hermco, the static load of the DF 300 made it an easy decision. Yes, the gunwales are a little lower than most would want to the deck but I troll offshore and bottom fish as well and have had no complaints. I also don't have any issues with multiple people in the back of the boat.
The best part is that I was able to put elongated side scuppers in. I cannot describe what huge improvement that has made on the boat. I never have standing water no matter if a bucket or hose is used to wash down the deck.... It clears instantly. The scuppers don't have any flaps and regardless of seas or weight the only water that hits the deck has to come over the sides or bow.
