I'm seriously considering the minicell foam option. The only problem is that the fiberglass brackets stick straight out and dig into my ankles. Over long periods of time it's pretty uncomfortable. Cutting them out and then replacing them with minicel is a possibility.

: ...is to make a Minicel foam footrest that sits against the bulkhead. You can
: make it as thick as you need (My girlfriend's Rumour has ~10" of
: padding on the bulkhead). I've done this with several boats and it's far
: more comfortable than any foot pegs I've tried, plus there's no holes in
: the hull.
