Hello All..Building a fishing raft frame and would like advice on oar length for a 13' Momentum. Is there a formula? Ratio?
Also, would like to keep the cost for oars, locks and towers under $300.00 for both sides if possible. Any decent vendors? Traveling class II for now.
There's questions I should be asking so, fire away ideas and experiences please...Thank You in advance.
I have a 13" maravia, 66" between towers, 18" tubes, 6" towers, and 8 foot cataracts. If I had it all to do over. I would buy 9' oars and cut them down somewhere around 8 1/2 feet.
NRS website has some general oar length recommendations. Go to their website and look under the Fit List heading. A lot depends on your boat & frame width, seat height, your height, etc.
I'm with Idahofloater......you'll probably want longer oars than what you first think.
Oars, locks, and towers for under $300 might be a challenge, but keep checking the gear swaps on Mountain Buzz & NRS.
Good luck
KJ
