Hi Bob,

Mine is 10.75" at the fore deck centerline and 7" at the aft deck centerline (measured at the inside surfaces). When I built it, I tried to drop the aft deck slightly (1/4" or so), but there was some springback. A fully stock OI might be a tad higher at the aft edge of the cockpit.

Ross

: Guess I could have been a tad clearer....what I am looking for is the height
: between the interior hull surface and the interior deck surface, at the
: front center location of the cockpit.
: Many thanks Kent!
