Thanks, I think...
I do need some nice period oars for a mid 50 wood dory I am restoring.
Do you have any?

Seriously, this one is made by OMC as far as I know. (Serial #
55X577583). Got it firing and sputtering, but have low compression due
to having a bad gasket. Has anyone used automotive rubber-in-a-tube
gasket for an application like this? I am tempted to try it, but don't
want to goof up the engine.
