What part of your foot should rest on the footpegs?  The ball of your
foot?  Or closer to the instep?  Is this a matter of taste?  Or is
bracing helped by one over the other?

Should your heels be resting on the hull for comfort?

Is is better to have your feet angled out or closer to up-and-down?

If you like your pegs low, is there any significant penalty for having a
couple of footpeg track screw heads (per side) below the waterline (well
caulked, of course)?
