Everything works fine the way it is just need stronger oar locks I'm thinking stainless 1/2 bolt and weld a U bracket for the oar on top of bolt in a 2in pieces of tubing welded on a flat bar pined.....I only use the oars to get through the surf and for back up in case my trolling motor quits and for exercise I can fish longer and more conformable and high and dry then my kayak and not nearly as tired....k surplus is good I been in there its around the corner from metal mart.

understood but look at the way the oar locks are set up, they are strong and smooth. Might help decide how you want yours.

Supperpro, gave away my Malibu after my 3 yts and the beach closers with the hammerhead shark incounter hatches were to small to put yt in now I have a cobra fish and dive I still use now with my sail but my canoe has all the comforts of boat fishing with out the trailer plus it's a rush to go through the surf....
