<p>Hey Robert, I have thought about cutting some heel holes, Ive got a pattern from one of the instruction books, dont remember which boat right now,.</p>
<p>The reason I thought about cutting them in was to get a little more knee/oar clearance, but I raised my oarlocks and used longer locks, and with my boots up against the back of the frt bench I`m pretty good right now. I might not cut them in.…</p>

<p>The problem with me isn't things falling through the floor boards it is things getting under them from the sides. Without some spacing you can't get anything out. It's good to make sure the bottom frames are at least 2.75" tall also so empty beer cans will fit under the floor boards as well :)</p>

<p>Robert, I have alway liked to use tighter spacing and typically go with a 3/4" reveal. I do this for the purpose of dogs in the boat and the fear of a paw dropping down and getting hurt. Just in the last month my dog has got his pad of his paw caught in that 3/4" reveal twice! So i guess I will be making my spacing closer to 1/2" or maybe even 3/8" in the future. If you"re going to have a dog in the boat this is something you'll want to consider for your pups safety.</p>
