I don't need holes in a boat to sit low.
Does it make a difference how big the holes are?
Also if you go down with the boat it is detrimental to your health although it could be declared a grave and thus prevent salvage; at least that's my understanding of maritime law - someone may know better.
Oh wait - a submarine has holes in. I believe they have a pressure hull with 2 saddle tanks running the length of the hull. Water can be forced out by compressed air. Before the season starts you could experiment with this on a boat and it would make for some interesting judging decisions if only the periscope went through the gate. Torpedoes could be utilized to literally sink the opposition.
Rent Das Boot over New Year to get a feel for it!
Dive, dive, dive!

As long as the previous holes are adequatly filled then I cant see it making much difference (If the person who wants the boat is shorter than the boat was set up for).
With regard to the difference in how the boat sits in the water, it will depend on the make of boat and its hull shape. i.e if the boat is non-plaining then it sits in the water, if it is plaining then it sits on the water. Moving the footrests won't realistically effect the boats performance. As long as its comfortable, thats all that really matters!
