Wednesday Caster......your right about the oars, probably should have gone with at least 7 foot and brought more loom inboard. The oars I have are 6 foot with 17 inches inboard, I've never liked the cross-over hand position-always getting tangled up. The boat is light weight, with a very shallow draft, easy to row, except against the wind.
Thanks for the kudos, I started this boat in my kitchen in early March. Prefabed as much as I could and when the weather warmed moved out to barn to put it together. It was fun, might do another this next winter.
Do you have a picture of the pram you restored?
