I found some flat snoodles at K-mart. It's a lime green closed cell foam
pool toy about 3/4" x 8" x 7'. I just cut sections out of it and fitted
them into the spaces between the ribs and skin, with a double thickness
under my butt all the way up to were my heels rest. Seems to work real
well, but then again I've not spent more than about 4 hours in the boat
since installing em.
When I built it, I sized the masik so I could get in and out with the
bulkiest clothing I have. Turns out that when I'm in shorts the knee brace
is a little high, so I took some of the round snoodle cut a quarter section
out of it and glued it to the knee brace. Snoodle makes a good knee brace
padding.
See Ya
Have Fun
Bruce
