A couple of years ago my Dad and I took a neighbor out to 3-way some eels through the reefs at night. It was about as nice a night as you can ask for but somehow in a split second the neighbor was in the water. Luckily I was fishing the same side of the boat and heard him go in and we were able to pull him out right away but it was an eye opening experience. I still have the boat (Cobia 194) which has pretty low gunnels but if I ever upgrade I will be looking for something with at least thigh high gunnels.
