I've just bought the same canoe, question is what oars do you use with it? I've bought normal canoe oars and when I got it home I noticed the oar locks and am wondering if you tried both? Which works better for you.

@scjustin2002 I use regular row boat oars by Carlisle I bought them @ Dick's Sporting Goods. Never really tried canoe paddles with this boat. When I'm floating solo and I want to position my self a little closer to shore without disturbing anything when using the motor I like to use a Paddle board paddle. I do this so I could stand and fish and still maneuver. Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your boat.

@surjracer56 right on, one more question what length oars (oar lock oars) do you use with the boat, i was thinking 6', what works for you? not trying to ask you a crap load of questions but your the only one i see that has this boat. thank you

@scjustin2002 I use six foot oars. I find that they help turn the boat realy well when wanting to pivot in place. The length allows a long stroke so you move the boat a little faster with little effort. I have'nt seen our boat as much as I would like on youtube either so ask away. I hope you will make a vid of your boat so I can check out the mods you've made. Just link it to this one if you do and i'll check it out. Good luck with the boat.

Great job, i'm thinking about getting a canoe and your set up is pretty much what I want. Great ideas and creativity..Good Luck...Joe

@RevJoeyG Thanks for the compliment and good luck with your future vessel.

Great ideas, but looks kinda corny. Too much garb and not enough bare canoe.

@bassdominator1 Give me some time. I'll be doing a build video on the fishfinder mount i made. Thanks for the comment and request. when I do get the vid done I'll be sure to PM you.

Using the center seat with 'cooler' cut out allows you all kinds of customization options... one option would be to use the whole thing vs. the 12x10x9 'cooler' box for a livewell... you just have to seal the drain hole cut out of the bottom of the center seat. I cut a hole out of the center seat and have my transducer mounted in there shoot through style, it's great. I basically have no wires anywhere cluttering anything by utilizing inside the center seat. thx again for the review.
