If Mill160's don't come with thigh braces usually, I'd guess the previous
owner canniablized an old white water boat and screwed them in. You can
probably do the same. I've discovered that Perception WW thigh braces fit
Sea Lions, and we stuck some (forget which manufacturer) in a friend's
Narpa. I like Dagger thigh braces a lot. I'm sure that any Dagger,
Perception, or Wave Sport dealer will sell you some, since their boats
come with different sized thigh braces as options, but check around the
local WW guys first. They've likely got some sitting around from a boat
they broke.  Of course, you'll have to listen to the story of how they
broke it, first. Be sure to act suitably impressed. "Heinous, dude!" is
always an appropriate response.
