Rusty, There is an article in the How-to section of the MSOG site on sculling oars for the Montys. Go to http://msog.org/how-to/oars.cfm to see the article, and go to the Small Boat Journal articles on the subject at http://councill.home.mindspring.com/sbjournal/sbjournal.html Also a couple of sites listed in the MSOG Links list for sculling and oars site, notably, http://www.oarclub.org/index.html Gee, that MSOG site has just about everything!

Hey, everyone. I have already learned the art of hating my outboard(a Tohatsu 2.5 that Dik Lang assures me will run fine if taken good care of.) I am sure many of you know my pain. LOL I am ready to forgo the whole outboard and go motorless like the Pardeys(whom I was fortunate enough to sail with, for about 15 minutes, a story for another time.) My question for you is, have any of you relied on alternative sources of propulsion, and what have been your successes(and failures.) I am thinking oars(standing facing forward) for the M-15. What about a single paddle with the tiller tied off? This is mostly for getting in and out of the marina, not for long distance. I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
