I am a newbie when it comes to boating and I have a 13-foot aluminum
boat with a 9.9 HP gas motor and a 12-volt electric motor. I bought
the boat about a year ago and have only used it a few times so far
using the electric motor.

I am about to buy oars and oarlocks. The boat already has oarlock
sockets.

Any thoughts or suggestions about what to buy, where to buy them, etc.
would be appreciated. There are a few boating supply stores (such as
West Marine) in my area, so I'll probably start there.



I have these on my 14 foot skiff, and I like them a lot.

They are remarkably quiet and smooth.
