: I only have one boat (that I use) with adjustable pegs in it and it's only
: because I've been too lazy to replace them with a minicel foam block on
: the bulkhead. There's absolutely no comparison in comfort or simplicity;
: foam wins!

: Linda's Rumour has 10" of foam in it, which not only prvides a
: comfortable foot rest, but also reduces the volume of the cockpit that can
: fill with water in a wet exit.

Joe Greenly has foam in his King. This way he can custom fit to whoever is paddling. I like the foam a lot. To me it's less confining and more confortable.
