Yep, that is what I did but I still put the knees in as it was originally to provide drain piping clearance. I raised mine to remedy the bottom bolt holes from coming in at the splash well level when I raised the transom height. It was alot of work and sanding those 4 interior corners makes for very sore fingers. In hourly terms, around 20 hrs is probably a light estimate.
