My 1956 Deep C was missing it's oars when I purchased it. I believe they were originally aluminum. My questions are. How long should they be? The internet recipe seems to point toward 9' for a boat 15'x5'. I can't store oars that long in the original oar holders. 6' to maybe 7' at the most if flexed when put in storage. I'm probably buying the typical wood type due to not finding originals.
I also purchased some oar locks with the pin that goes through the oar to keep them in place at all times. Before I drill to install I was wondering how big a gap should be between the oar grips when mounting? I searched this question as well but found no definitive answer.
