In Response To: Strip: Front Bulkhead as Footbrace? (Rich D)

: I've seen it mentioned here that some builders place the front bulkhead in a
: position to be used as a footbrace.

I use that system in a glass boat and I find it works fine.
I recommend that you glue a few inches of foam to the bulkhead
- this gives you some leeway should you decide to chenge the spacing.
