: I am located in West Michigan area. (Grand Rapids / Holland) I was
: expecting I would need a seat and backband, What I wasn't
: certain on was the foot rests and thigh braces.

: Last summer I didn't have float bags / a sea sock or deck lines, so
: didn't dare get more then 100 yards out from shore. Also,
: recovering after going over involved dragging to shore and
: emptying out on shore.

: I think I will I get a large chunk of mini-cell foam and make a
: backrest, hip pads and see if I can implement good thigh pads. I
: ended up building the large coaming version, so i think I might
: need thigh pads as well. Does anyone have any examples of foot
: rests in a yost style boat?

Here's a link to Tom Yost's page on foot braces.
