Self Bailing vs Gunnel Height vs Raised Deck Flatback & Semi Vee

(1/2) > >>

Ulysses485:
So i am brain storming (so many options and decisions to make with boats).....and trying to determine why everyone has to raise 3-4 inches with new builds. Is it for safe measure, keep it high and dry, CYA sort of speak? I am working with an 81' Semi Vee 222 (just doing some paint but planning for complete rebuild in 3-5 years) and considering the recess towards the back, i would think raising that to deck height would be sufficient for self bailing if a simple T Top was added.

Does it have to do with the common Towers, AND built in live wells (mostly at transom), AND 4 stroke's hanging off the back?

I am also itching to get started early with a Flatback build ( so i can have the 81' to fish) and i am curious with how the original and rebuilt gunnel heights compare. Is there an option to do a poll on here?

Any input (with measurements) would be great. Ill throw mine up later tonight.

Thank You

Ulysses

I raised the deck on my 200 CCP 1” and it’s completely self bailing with two people standing in the stern.

Can you include your setup? An overall photo not the boat works too :)

My guess is it totally depends on the boat.

I did not raise my 170 decks at all and it is self bailing, fully loaded. I DID move fuel tank forward considerably and I think it balances just right.

I hear the Mako 19 decks had to be raised upwards of 5" to be self bailing.

Everything is a tradeoff!

Here’s a stern shot from before I had the motor mounted.
