: Would it be worth building some or is it better to buy commercial ones?
: Anybody have plans? I'm building s&g and strip. Thanks.

Depends on what you're looking for. If several people will be paddling your boat, then adjustable footbraces are a good idea. You can make them or install factory made ones. I tend to prefer the Yakima (werner) foot braces, very rugged though a little heavy. Lots of online places have them.

If you'll be the only one paddling it, the foam bulkhead is pretty comfy and easy.
