[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 502877, member: 24594"] As noted, it's your new old boat. It's a good problem to have, in my opinion. As for the two sets of oarlocks, that just allows you to row from two different positions. Find a nice set of aluminum oars and use your keepers (the hoops on the side) to keep them handy. Personally, I like the ones found here...https://oceansouth.us/product-category/oars-paddles-boathooks/oars/ As for the transom, it's rated 12hp, so it's not going to take a lot. Just avoid anything treated. The factory used wood inside and outside as a sandwich. Your total thickness needs to be around 1.5" If it were me, I'd be on the lookout for a nice offseason deal on a QD-22, a set of oars, a set of trailer bearings, and some sealed ply. Maybe a can of rustoleum or two and then go fishing to think about the rest of it. [/QUOTE]
