Wheels and Oars


Launch Wheels

I reinforced the transom for mounting of the launch wheels.



Then I installed the launch wheels.



Forward-Facing Rowing System


I purchased a forward-facing rowing system with spoon-blade oars from Gig Harbor Boats.

Here is  a sequence of pics to show how the FFRS works...

Mount the forward facing rowing system on the Nemah hull.

Handles and paddles installed

Time for a test ride!
