I have the last 2 months build my Rowcruiser, and still have a way to go, but things taking shape slowly. I ordered all my stuff from Fyne after sending the digital files to them- and they have ...

Applied geometry - I love it !! Do please let us know how it all works out - T

Hello Joerg, I will email a pdf of the manual to you, and that will give all the advance insights you need for prep.  Hav fun with the build!   Colin

Tony,  Thanks for the reply and the precautions - duly noted.   After posting this question, I did have one brainstorm that might be useful to others. In the process of construction of ...

Nick, thanks for the info, very helpful. At this point I intend to do the same: use a "Topside" paint such as the Interlux on both top and bottom.  I was surprised by how hard it was to find i...

Hello Mark, I built the sailing version of the RowCruiser and finished it with Interlux Brightside, too and bottom.  Like your expedition, it spends 90% of its time in Salt water.  I sto...

Hello Mark, I took that approach and it is close enough.  In normal usage, as the associated bolt is tightened for the first time, these T-nuts will deform. I proceeded with the idea that my...

What do I need to get for building the wooden oars. I have ordered the kit and would like to get the wood ahead of time   

This post and answer is from some time ago, but I am just now to this point in my build and am still a bit confused about mounting the rigger to the base. It seems, one drills a hole through the ri...

Expedition Rowboat Paint I am approaching the point in my build of an Expedition Rowboat of the painting of the boat. I have several questions and any feedback would be much appreciated. The boat ...

Great question. There are definite pros and cons to adding two-part expanding polyurethane foam to the flotation chambers. The most obvious pro is virtually indestructible flotation. A boat could ...

We're thinking about using 2-part flotation foam in the front and rear flotation chambers. Other than cost (which is minimal), is there any good reason not to?

I have rotated the rail 180 degree, so the lip of the rail do show to the outside. 

Thanks Tony, I appreciate the reply.  Good ideas, I'll play with them and see what happens.  Raising the foot stretcher sound like a good idea.

Hello Eric, I dont have an answer to your exact question, but a couple of suggestions; 1 - Consider fixing your feet to a higher point. Simply adjusting the foot stretcher to keep your heels high...

I've been thinking of trying to convert my RowCruiser to the SailCruiser and am wondering if there is either a kit that could be purchased to do so, or insructions (maybe even CNC files)?  Wha...

My RowCruiser has the sliding seat set up, but I have kinda big calves and unless I hold my legs tightly together they rub against the rails while rowing, which gets a bit uncomfortable over time.&...
