I think the key reason is the movement of the rows. The rows on your boat make a round (circular) movement. This means that they make the same way (distance) up and down like forward and backwards.
Now you have to make a mechanic which converts this round movement into an elliptic movement. Like this, the forward/backwards movement of the rows is increased, while the up/down movement is the same or decreased.
I'm building an example right now. I'll uploading a video tomorow.
Nice but to slow!

Awesome. Great work. Try to make the Oars to dip into the water more. It will move much faster. But overall. AWESOME!

well you could try to move the oars down so that it is pulled across the water quicker

The best way to propel a lego boat is putting inside an Lego Pneumatic Engine. It really powerful, fast and it's waterproof.

@legoman909 no. it just moved slower than a fat kid on a tread mill

perhaps you can try paddle wheels. Im working with them, but the boat hulls i have sink way to low in the water for the boat to go anywhere

maybe you could extend the oars into the water a bit

You could increase the speed with other, simplified and more effective mechanics.

OK, please, how I could improve my design?
I was thinking about it. But that is the best mechanics I could do within the boat dimensions and my set of pieces.

@chasplas You should put the "flippers" more in the water so they can give more power.
and did you ever thought of a "Wheel" that spins in the water like the First Steam engine boats =D

@chasplas put bigger gears ang make paddles go in water more

It would prob work better with longer rowers or whatnot??
