: That's what I've been doing with my boats. On the last Njord my customer
: wanted it very adjustable so I put the bulkhead about 4 inches farther
: forward and then padded it out with foam. The last piece in was shaped on
: the bandsaw with a forward tilt and beveled. Real comfy!

: Dan

This is my plan as well. The foam should have better abrasion wear than a rigid surface and is definitely easier to replace or repair when it gets worn, provided it's an interference fit and not glued in place. If I ever get my stupid coaming done...
