Just a question Loco..how many sets of oars do you recon the average
small marine supplier sells per week?

I'll answer that query! Probably next to none! West Marine and BOAT US charge
silly prices for varnished oars and paddles. I sold seven pair because 20 bucks
for brand new oars is probably below cost. Defender sells them for 40.00, which
is the best price I've seen in a store.
