I've got better "sea legs" than most; fished a friends smaller Eastern that also has low gunnels (and also flat bottom & pounds like a hammer) and made sure I was holding on good whenever we were moving. I don't believe these boats were designed for "family" use; they are designed with the lower gunnels as working boats. If you're considering an older rebuilt boat I would consider an older Seacraft, Mako or Grady. They had the best construction of older boats (Seacraft being the best...of course) ; very thick hand layed FG hulls etc. Before you make your decision check out Classic Seacraft or Classic Mako...lots of deals on very good boats. My 71 SC is still as solid as a rock.
