I want to learn how to row!  Doesn't need to be fancy, just needs to be functional.

Sean I have a 8' almarco I'll never sell it but you are welcome to use it for as long as you want has oars and anchor set up. I haven't used it since getting the Kayak it's just sitting there wanting to go.

Sean, I saw this post on another site. Looks and sounds like a sweet little drifter. Other than that, I don't know much about it. Here's the info cut+pasted below.
PK


I spoted this on Ifish, thought someone might be interested. You can type in Wooden Boat on their search bar and get the ad to pop up with the contact info. The trailer isn't much to write home about but the boat looks interesting.I cleared this with the seller.I have his number also if you're interested.

$1,800.00



This is a 14' handbuilt by yours truly, stitch and glue, wooden drift boat. I am the builder, sole owner and virtually sole rower. I built this boat in 1998 while attending OSU. The boat was built using Tracey Obrien's Headwater 14 patterns. This sweet little boat has always been garage stored and kept dry when not in use, she is very solid. She is, however, not a trailer queen, and probalby won't win a prize at the wooden boat show, though she gets alot of compliments on the river. She is built to fish hard and does it very well. Perfect for two people, serviceable for three.

All plywood is marine grade, the hull is all A-A Okume, 12mm on the bottom and 9mm for the sides. All hull plywood was laminated with 4oz biaxial cloth and epoxy inside and out, and all chine seams were double taped with 6" biaxial cloth tape. The trim is 100% hardwood; white oak gunnels, ash (baseball bat wood) seat frames, and I forget what the ribs are, perhaps hard pine. The entire boat is encapsualted in West System marine epoxy, and was just given a fresh coat of marine spar varnish (UV protection) and floor paint with grit. Maintenance is very low on this kind of boat, just keep it dry, when not in use, and it will last a long time. Hardware is all SS or bronze. The bottom is built to take anything you can dish out, it consists of three layers of 6oz biaxial cloth fully wetted with epoxy and coated with epoxy/graphite paste, it is very hard, strong and slick.
This boat is extremely nimble, and rows very easily. For a small boat she handles big water quite well, I have drifted most of the rivers in NW OR that get DB traffic; Clackamas, Sandy, Wilson, Nestucca, Deschutes, Mckenzie, you name it she's been there and killed fish.

Here is what is included:
Boat & Trailer (yes it's a bimart utility trailer, it works like a champ, bearings repacked annually, has a winch and brand new working lights)
3 sets of wooden oars
Bronze oarlocks
44# thrust 12VDc Minn Kota, 10ga wire run from front box to rear with quick connects, pushes this little boat very well
Group 27 GIJoe's Deep cycle battery & box & charger (I have yet to run this battery down all the way)
Sliding Fish box under rower seat, low point drain & plug & 3 tackle storage drawers
Fish/storage box under front seat, low point drain & plug
Complete side pull anchor set up with rope, pulleys and 30# pyramid, can be set up with pulley on achor (1/2 the force to retrieve)
bow anchor roller
Boat registered through 2009
3 fold down padded swivel seats no rips, the two front seats on slider rails, can use 2 or 1 depending on crew
3 rod holders, 2 fish on and one scotty
Rod rack, holds 6, mounted next to rower, as well as racks up front for fly rods
two Holdzit tool holders
Net/fishin buddy holder
Brass, screw-in, drain plug
Fish bonker (Bad karma to switch bonkers!)
3 Life jackets, including one auto-inflator.

Sin-that is a beauty...which is exactly why I shouldn't learn in it!  I am nearly certain i would ruin it.  That thing is super sweet though...later!
