I just went out and stood against the inside gunwales of my '84...at the rear of the cockpit, right at the floor drains, the tops were a good 2-2.5 inches above the top of my knees and I'm 6'4"...my '95 V-21 was much the same...I've got a feeling a previous owner, for some reason, raised the floor deck in the particular boat you are talking about...even prior to self-draining floor decks and raising the height of the cap, which was in the 70s, I don't recall the top of the gunwale being below my knee...somethings not as it came from the factory w/that boat, IMHO...
