Circa 1980. $1800 for single and oars. Heavy boat, good for someone 160 lbs or more. Might sell separately, if interested. History…
Owner bought the ‘red’ recreational Pocock single in 1987 from original owner. Boat was stored on the side of a houseboat, which could be why one side is more shiny. A good waxing will do wonders. The boat was stored by current owner under a concrete pier, in a well protected spot until 1993. Then it was stored in the rafters of a garage until it found its’ way to the LWRC Fremont boathouse. The wooden oars are much sought after, old school sculling blades. Come check them out at the boathouse! Take out for a spin….
