Ah, gotcha!

Checked that today, no go unfortunately That's an interesting idea. I've got the boat yard to give me a ball-park estimate for replacing the entirety with steel. If that's too much then it's back to plan A. BTW, what do you mean by "upstand"?

It's a wooden boat top. I'm guessing a steel cabin would be expensive. Too late for a 'tidy up and sell on' I'm afraid - the insides were a mess so I've stripped them out

I'm looking to add 3-6". It's an old boat and is noticeably lower than many in the marina. It's a complete tearout and refit, so floor construction can be tailored.

Need some advice here. I bought a cheap NB unseen with a view to a complete tearout and refit. Walls and roof are plywood. The ceiling height is only just about 6' in the centre, and certainly not high enough for me to walk around without stooping. How practical is it to raise the roof height? I was thinking I could detach the roof from the walls then install taller wall panels then reattach the roof. Is that doable, or am I off my head? If the latter, any suggestions how to gain some additional ceiling height?
