   I'll let someone else address your other questions, but as for the 
footpegs being uncomfortable, I have suffered from this as well. While I 
suppose it would not be overly difficult to pad your footpegs yourself, I 
have opted instead to try out the footpeg pads offered by Yakpads ( <A HREF="http://www.yakpads.com/">Yakpads 
kayak accessories for comfort</A> ). They are gel filled neoprene pads which fit 
over your existing footpegs. I have not been using them very long, but so far 
I am impressed and pleased. My only question at this point is how long will 
they last?
