...not your typical paddle canoe...how to change any old 17' Grumman, Michicraft, Alumacraft, Sea Nymph, Old Town, Mad River, etc aluminum/fiberglass old used canoe into a new & improved rowing canoe with seats for one rower and/or two paddlers, plus a doggie or two....
www.rowingrigs.com.....it changes the personality of a canoe by leaps and bounds..for a canoe the Scout Rig model is best because it is the lightest, costs $495. & shipping from Massachusetts, and is designed to fit into a canoe by attaching to the gunnels...the overall shape and design of a canoe makes it a natural as a rower....can honestly go through approximately 18" Lake Winnipesaukee boat wakes without taking on any water when rowed by one person seated in the middle, plus the rowing rig is attached with just four screw clamps so it can always be removed....
How to turn that old canoe into a dynamic rowing machine, lose the fat, and totally impress both the wife & girlfriend!
These Scout rowing rigs never-ever seem to show up, selling for less, in the classified ads, anywhere. As far as I know, no other maker besides Piantedosi in West Acton, Mass. makes this style product.
