My 1992 19' Outrage II is built with a molded-in console and a seat/leaning post base. I have two seats, no leaning post, and when sitting on them I feel like a little kid, my feet don’t touch the deck. There is a molded-in recessed foot rest in the console but that is for use with the leaning post.
I see where Birdsall Marine has a folding foot rest that attaches to the console for $200. Any other ideas out there?

I use a hung Big B or HTM fender.

You could have your local ironworks shop make you as set of brackets from aluminum then the add a piece of teak or whatever material you like, made to whatever size you need. It may not be foldable but it should be less that $200
