In a boat with a forward bulkhead, placement for your feet can work well. The 'dbbl' microbootlegger doesn't seem to accommodate that option.

+1.Just a bulkhead,in the right place and well fixed,is all you need.imho.Less weight and simpler but only suits one size (range)of person.All mine are tilted for extra comfort.A tiller system can be used for rudder control with less stress(in practice)on the controll lines.All these features are best fitted before the deck is.For a double,adjustable foot rests could be a safer bet,though.Something for your feet to push on is essential for good drive and posture.
Cheers from Paul.
