1989 Sceptre to Center Console

[Capt Chuck]

Good ideas I'm seeing Smiln!
A couple of questions sir. Why did you decide on raising the deck 2" ?
Who gave you that idea?
Have you stood at the transom of a 23' SeaCraft with a raised floor too measure where your knees now come in contact with the gunwhales ?
Just curious

I raised the deck both to keep it higher than the waterline and make the area outside the stringers usable as below deck storage. On the Sceptre, when a couple people would stand on one side, I'd get water on the deck. Since I'm mostly diving out of the boat, having 2" less freeboard isn't a big deal.
