I was just given a 43 year old Alden Ocean Shell that has seen better days. The oarmaster and oars have been stored inside since new and are in excellent condition. I was considering building an Oxford shell and putting the Oarmaster I from the old Alden in it.
Has anyone done this? If so how did it work?
I just ordered the Oxford Shell wood only kit and also have the plans and instructions. The instructions have both the Row Wing and the Oarmaster II installation details. So I believe the Oar Master I should fit.
I will be adapting a Wintech wing rigger to the shell hull once I get it built and figure out how to attach it.
