have a Skerray and have thought of doing that myself.

I love the boat, it's great for day outings and extended trips. Once
you get the hang of it you won't need the skeg as often. I weigh
about 40 pounds less than you, but have paddled it with ~50 pounds of
gear and it goes great. It's more stable when loaded, not that
stability when unloaded is a problem.

In the boat I demoed the foot pegs were not as far out as I would have
liked (and I don't have particularly long legs). It turns out that
the shop installed them - I had them refrain from installing the pegs
on the boat I ordered and installed them myself. I was able to gain
an extra inch or so, limited by the forward bulkhead. I also asked
them not to install the thigh braces (attached under the cockpit rim)
so I could fit them to me - never needed them badly enough to install
them.

It's very simple to add a bit of padding where necessary. If the boat
suits you otherwise, that's the best way to go.

What about the back of the seat? It seems very low to me. Is there a way
to replace that? It looks like it just straps in.
