The extra 5" does add protection against water entering the boat's splashwell and that can be a plus in following seas as mentioned, but also at the dock when unexpected waves from other boats and weather roll waves toward the stern....actually when tied to a dock overnite or extended periods, it's best to tie off w/the bow out toward big water for the same reasons...also, when you leave your boat in the water and tilt the motor up, the foot clears the water entirely...allows you to squirt the whole motor off after a day in the salt water...
