As far as I know it takes only a little heat to make the plastic malleable enough to stretch/squash. Applying a lot of heat (such as an oven might) could result in a nice big hole. I'd say the best thing would be to buy a boat that fits you correctly.

Shepakins,

I'd guess that maybe your style of boat has insufficient space in the bow for your feet. Worst case scenario here is that you get cramp in your feet & calves after a while which may prove problematic come getting out of the boat time.

I'd go with the other blokes & suggest you change the boat. If you heat the plastic & manage to reform it to a suitable shape will it still retain the handling characteristics the designers & manufacturuers put into it.

Pyranha's G3 is a nice roomy boat with good foot space; as a suggestion.
