The highest estimate I've ever been able to find is 82 meters, with perhaps as much as another equal amout possible if the water itself expands based on rising water temperatures (a long term effect. Initial results of all ice melting would be a reduction in average water temperature.) causeing the volume of water to expand.
Here is a link to a site that also includes some worst case graphics that would show what areas get flooded.

Re: More Reinforcement for the Black Sea Flood
Has to snap twice. Once to turn the heavenly faucet on, once to open the heavenly drain to cart it away.
Reminds me of an old Cream song.
Are we rolling? A one, a two, a three, a four...
A mother was washing her baby one night;
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite.
The mother was poor and the baby was thin;
'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin.
The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,
"Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied:
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole.
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug.
Your baby is perfectly happy;
He won't need a bath anymore.
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above,
Not lost but gone before.
Do you want to do it again?

It can be assumed the mountains whatever their makeup were low ones.
Why? Based on what evidence?
