I have the 9' OceanSouth oars, but I wouldn't mind having 8-1/2 oars as they would be slightly easier to get in the lockers. I'd be looking to trade down or maybe just sellif anyone is in Oregon...

Might be big enough for smaller shaft oars? cheers, John On 1/6/24 20:39, Rusty Knorr via montgomery_boats wrote:
The oars from Duckworks are really nice, I think they call them Xploars or something like that. Reasonably priced if a remember. www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

Hi Jim, I use inexpensive 9’ oars from Ocean South. They are two-piece aluminum. 10’ oars are recommended but the longest oars from Ocean South are 9’. I think they work fine and are easy to stow below. I can send you photos and specs separately if you want. Don BrysonNanettePort Townsend, WA

Any of you skippers using oars on M15? How long are they? Where do you sit? Where are oar locks located?
I want to be environmentally correct
Thanks
