Default Re: FREEBOARD ?

My 85, Old School is a full transom and the gunnel height is good even for six footers plus. Where I do see an issue is in footing. The point where the wall and the floor meet (toe kick) is just slightly inboard from the gunnel so if you get in some rollers and are fighting a fish you better have some good anti slip shoes or you just might go swimming. I plan to add the gunnel pads on mine soon. It will give you leverage to place your thigh against and fight fish and balance yourself in general.And change that angle of toe stop and gunnel. I got spoiled with the Robalo CC I just sold it had them. After a day of fishing they made a big difference in comfort.
