My old style fixed footwell skis (Twogood, Findeisen, Fenn Tarpon) all have a separate seat bucket from the two foot wells, all separated by the deck of the boat. None have bailers nor adjustable foot plates. They all force my knees higher than newer cockpits, even the ski that might be too long for me. It seems impossible to get the same leg drive I can get on newer, adjustable skis, where my driving leg can literally straighten out. The old style is a far cry from low/no hump on newer footwell (epic v10Sport g2) where back of knee touches boat when fully depressing knee during leg drive. Lowest point of knee on old style has to be 4 inches/ 10cm higher than new style. No way I can straighten driving leg. What’s the deal, the new technology just that much better? Old style skis obsolete? Same leg drive not possible on old style? Different technique used in yesteryear? Thanks
