In Response To: Walrus gunwale height... (Kirk)

I wouldn't recommend raising them. As others have pointed out, the deck is variable, so do your adjusting there. I did raise the gunwales, and it makes the boat much too high. You could even drop them, IMO. Be conservative in the deck height too. These little changes make a big difference in the boat.
