[QUOTE="answer3, post: 376478, member: 15618"] Hi Has anyone ever tried to raise the sides of a V-Hull aluminum boat? I am thinking to get a 14ft deep V like Lund WC14 or Starcraft sf14 but would feel safer to have the sides higher when I want to go fishing at sea. I don't plan to go very far from shore but would probably feel safer in case a big wave come by or if a guy with a big boat drives close to me. I was thinking it should be possible to remove the gunnels and add a sheet of aluminum (something like 10 inches wide) and rivet back the gunnels on the top of the added sheet. Do you guys think that it is something feasible? [/QUOTE]
