[QUOTE="rscottp, post: 376555, member: 12997"] My biggest fear is taking a wave over the transom or burying the bow in following seas. I suppose you could make bow higher but I really don't think raising the sides will make the boat that much safer. Also removing the gunnels will weaken the structure of the boat, I am not convinced riveted extensions with the gunnels attached to that will be as strong as the original. I would leave the boat as it is and only go out when conditions are safe. [/QUOTE]
