Skin-on-Frame: Big Foot & the Sea Tour 17R

Howdy...

Just starting a build of the Sea Tour 17R and I'm afraid that my size 13 feet, usually with Keen paddling shoes on, might not fit. Has anyone else with large feet paddled this boat? Can I keep the cross section offsets on #'s 3 & 4 the same or should I increase the deck height numbers a bit? Based on the Yost numbers, #3 is 0.898 ft and #4 is 0.200 ft.

Luckily I thought of this before cutting the cross sections. I have them mapped out on plywood, but they can easily be modified.
