Mark,

You might try calling Frank at Wilderness Supply Co. 204-783-9555, I know that he had some odd sizes when I checked during the spring, none were the size that I needed for my seat, but they may do for your bulkheads, if the're still there.

I've seen the closed cell kneeling pads that John mentioned in the garden centre of some of the Canadian Tire stores, I was thinking of using them for hip and thigh padding. The price is right!

Give me a call this afternoon if you want to have a look at 'das boat'.
