I built this boat last summer 2023 and have used it this summer 2024 to learn how to row. Very enjoyable boat. You can come test it as it lives on the Columbia River. Asking $1800 Includes the oars. Open to offers.

A rough water pulling boat with the speed of a flat-water scull. Racer X is a skin-on-frame ocean rowing shell that is fast, lightweight, seaworthy, safe and easy to build. She is long and lean, with a narrow waterline beam that flares out to give increasing stability when needed. She also has permanent flotation and sealed interior storage for personal gear. And, weighing about 55lbs/25kgs, she is easy to carry and to car top. That's not as light as a carbon fiber shell, but comparable to commercial fiberglass boats.
A Racer X is not just a flat-out racing machine, she is also great for recreational rowers who like to go fast, but don't always want to get up at dawn to go for a jaunt or get in a workout. If you rowed in school, Racer X can open up a whole new world of waters to explore - without sacrificing speed to do so.
