As I mentioned in an earlier post, I bought a 12′ rowboat this summer.
It was a turnkey operation: in addition to the boat and trailer, the seller threw in a trolling motor, a couple of deep cycle batteries, a pair of oars with rowlocks, an anchor and line, a couple of Type II life vests, and some fishing equipment.
A smart man would’ve been happy with the setup as is.
Naturally, I immediately set about replacing EVERYTHING.
