Having owne...Congratulations on the boat adventure!<br />Having owned at least one vessel, I must say that puttering, head scratching, and problem solving are truly enjoyable aspects of ownership. But I think your oarlocks may be overkill. Trust me, if there is something to skin your shins on, stub your toe, or bang your head on, it WILL happen. <br /><br />But I won't be critical without offering some other idea. Why not put the flat plate inside the gunwale and weld the bored out stock to the side of it. This allows it to drain and also gives you one less thing to stub on. Also, the 1/4 inch flat stock seems out of proportion; perhaps a thinner stock?<br /><br />Happy maintenance!<br />Bob <br />PS. Put some more pics up, especially of the whole boat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
