...oopsie...... that should read.....22' recreational rowing shell

....ok....so yesterday I drove over to Bristol, NH, above Newfound Lake, to take a look-see at a craigslist ad for a 22' rowing shell with outriggers and oars for just $275. At that price, it sounded like a steal, but of course one never knows until you actually inspect the boat. A 22' Alden ocean scout like this with oars, outriggers, and sliding seat costs something like $2500-3000 when new.

What's wrong with this one was damage done to the bottom of the hull while left outside all winter under the weight of the snow. The thin fiberglass needs some holes repaired. This 22' shell weighs just about 50-lbs, not including the VERY impressive oars, which is pretty danged lite for a 22' long boat.......doncha think!

Here's a fixer-upper for someone that wants a fiberglass repair project; posted in craigslist on July 24 titled "Recreational Rowing Shell," and located in nearby Bristol, NH.

....say-hey....looks like the seller has lowered the price down from $275 to 225.


....and, by the way......I am extremely pleased with myself for NOT buying this.....but it could be a steal-of-a-deal for rowing the Big Lake, or to repair and re-sell.....if u know fiberglass repair on very thin fiberglass! ...doing repairs on aluminum is just a heck of a lot easier than with fiberglass!
