I was also considering the benefit of keeping more water out. My boat will almost exclusively be an offshore fish/dive boat, and I like the idea of raising it.
Trying to determine if there is a way to fill the notch without cutting out the existing wood. I was kinda thinking if I take a chainsaw and cut a three-quarter inch wide groove two or three inches deep accross and up both sides of the notch; then I could resin in a piece of 5/8 ply cut to the final shape. Then add 1/2 inch ply on the front and back. Then glass over it all.
Maybe this picture I edited will help explain. Does this sound like it would have the structural integrity I need?
