Not sure Ferm but I beleive there were two times they raised the deck, initially in the early eighties they raised it so that they could have thru hulls with floor scuppers, at least on the outboard boats. These drained overboard not into the bildge.
Then in 1988 they raised it again about 2 inches so that the floor would not take any water when the boat was bobbing and weaving in the water.
That is why the 88's and above are not as deep in the cockpit, they hit you in a lower spot on your leg when you stand in them to fish and lean against the gunnels.
This same floor height also applies to the V21's.
At least that is what I have seen in the 20 or so I have actually been in.
