If this is the system I think it is, I was talking to one of our retailers 
last week and he said it was a reasonable product but far too expensive, 
nearly the cost of a whole kayak in this country!!!!

You still need to drill holes in the sides of the hull to mount the 
footpegs? If so WHY? I never do that with the system I produce. In other 
words, there are still better ways of doing things.
