: I finished my expedition single this morn and put it in the water and it was
: really nice. But,The adjustable foot braces are adjusted all the way
: forward and just fits but snug with no more adjustment.I used the studs
: bonded to the inside of hull.Can I safely cut them off the hull so I can
: get more adjustment or should I live with it?

Perhaps you might consider the addition of some type of platform/riser to the foot pegs? Could be wood, mini-cell, etc. Would think you might be able to easily give yourself another inch or two. Might even try it as just a temporary solution to get you through this season, waiting until next winter for the surgery that might take the boat out of action for a bit.

Food for thought,
Todd
