: No, not so much. The deck would be left in place, but the riser would follow
: the exact shape of the cut-out.

Brian, if I understand you correctly the idea has merit and problems. Take a look at the Dagger Crossfire if you can find one. I pull the factory thigh brace out and get a perfect fit for my thighs directly to the kayak with no padding, I like that. The down side is that the skirt does not get a positive seal because of the gap at the inturned riser. That might be remedied with the perfect skirt or by adding the missing convex riser sections to eliminate the gaps. Hope this makes sense. I can get a photo in the morning if that would help.

Best,

Reg
