I was just having this discussion with a fiend who's ordering a new 
boat over the weekend. If you do have this done in place of foot pegs 
remember to get a reinforced bulk head. There is a charge for it, 
around 75.00. I had mine done this way and it worked out well. With 
that said I've heard more then a few custom bulk heads have come 
through incorrect.
