: I have toyed with that idea a little bit. Like you I think it could work.

: I also notice that the seats I am using (Redfish) are elevated some. I had
: tossed around the idea of adding a partial frame right in front of the
: seat. Mounting a floorboard at the seat level and then letting it rise
: upwards to the next frame. I need to build a frame and just try some ideas
: using some scraps and see what works.

You could always just double that frame (the one in front of the seat) and then cut the depth in half. Should make for a nearly flush frame if not completely flush and would also make the frame at the top of your legs less of a problem. I want to try that on my next Yost build, perhaps with the class this winter. It does mean cutting an extra frame, but that's not all that difficult.
