In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Footbraces for Yost Sea Bee 13 (Brian Hanks)

I've built 4 Yost boats, The best foot peg arrangement I came up with is similar to yours.

I used 1" thin wall square Aluminum, and cut two slots that align with the frames then I just lashed into place. For the actual foot peg I used some scrap poly I had around. I used a rope with knots to make it adjustable and a bungee to keep tension on it.
