And that's exactly why I posted!  Thank you for the insight and the quick reply, Colin. Since our boat will be on inland lakes only, we'll pass on the foam.

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...

I deleted the orginal post because I figured it out.

I haven't started to build my oars yet but was also 🤔ing about this too. On re-reading the manual and looking carefully at the diagrams. I came up with the right answer but it's reassuring to see y...

Minus 10 celcius and snowstorm on one side of the garagedoor and a cryptominer on the other side making free heat for my build - a row cruiser in norway . What could be better? The noise I guess - ...

nice post

I know its been awhile since you listed, but is this still available?

Tony, thanks for the reply. Since my original posting I have learned that some others have put a second hatch farther forward, more readily accessible while rowing, for water, food, rain coats, etc...

Hello Mark. My understanding is the rationale for the 5" round access hatches in the cockpit is to allow access to the t-nut that fixes the oar rigger to the hull. Hence the prescribed location is...

I am building an Expedition Rowboat and am wondering about the location of the 5" round access hatches in the cockpit. The instructions say to locate them 18" forward of the rear bulkhead. That is ...
