23 Self-bailing deck history ?

[ScottM]

I could be wrong on this one, but I don't think anyone on this site has raised the floor of their 23, be it a CC or cuddy. With that said, most 23 owners have an outboard (either on the transom or bracket), so maybe the scupper issue isn't as difficult to deal with as it is with the weight of an I/O??? However, I do know what that scupper problem can be like in a Sceptre with a big block. Last summer I had the chance to see Chris Downey's '77(?) with a Merc 7.4, and he had water on the deck with 2 guys standing in the stern.

Most guys that have raised the deck have a 20 so you may not get as much 23-specific feedback on the subject.
