: Just out of curiosity, what do you need more freeboard for in a day paddler?

: At 135 lbs, you'll float plenty high in a Sea Rover, which is his smallest
: adult boat.

Final stability will increase with increased freeboard, it just increases the angle that can be achieved before the deck edge goes under water and that alone allows for an increase in stability.

Btw, I too like low decks.
