Other: Coaming Height

Quick question.
What's a ball park range for the height of the front of the coaming?
I just zip tied all my stringers and coaming in place and sat down in it and the deck feels too high. There is no seat in it yet but, it realy feels high.
I started out with the Guillemot S&G hull but have gone my own route with the deck. (SOF) The front of the coaming is coming in at about 13.5 inches from top to bottom of the boat. I'm not looking for anything extream in either direction. Just a nice lower volume day paddler or the occasional weekend trip. What's everyone else's heights coming in at?
