www.row2k.com is the premier rowing site in the US. It also has a great classified section for buying and selling used boats and rowing equipment (oars, trailers, ergs). Check out some the boat, prices, and seller locations. Think about type of boat (sweep vs. sculling) and size (1-8 person) that the Club could use. Due to transportation costs, the cheapest (or freeest) boat may not be the best choice. Post anything that strikes your fancy and it can the subject of discussion.

Categories: Boats For Sale Date Posted: 02/12/2007 Ad Number: 16263 Contact: Arik Wiest Eugene, OR 97405 US Telephone: E-Mail: arik@uoregon.edu Web Site:
"Description 1999 Owen heavyweight men's pair/double. Came from the University of Washington. In great shape and with limited hours of use. Comes with both sweep and sculling riggers. Asking $2,000.
1987 Vespoli DL 4+. New shoes and seats. Good durable novice learning boat. Would not serve as a competitive racing shell. Make an offer. "
Okay, I'll start. The Owen would be a darn nice boat to have around. The pair refers to sweep rowing (two people, two oars) and the double refers sculling. Since it will only accommodate two rowers, it might not seem ideal, but then again if only two people show up for practice, they have a nice boat to row. Pairs and doubles is a good way to start in competition. There are not as many boats competing.
The four of course is a sweep boat and the plus refers to having a coxswain. Durable and easy to row are important.
The downside is that they are in Eugene, OR. Anyone going there over spring break?

Yep, Alan. I think we need the university to buy the club the boat, then you and I can race it!

I really didn't mean to be that transparent, but that's the gist.
