more questions as i continue on my journey of restoring the ugly eastsider.
so, now i've got the oarlock blocks cut and sanded and i'm ready to have holes drilled in them for the uhmw sockets that i'm going to get from greg tatman. i have enough room on the block to drill two oarlock sockets, possibly even three. my question is what spacing between each socket is enough to make it worthwhile to do so?
i'd originally planned on spacing three at 1 1/2 inch intervals but thought that wouldn't be enough distance between them to make it worth doing. would you really notice if your oarlock is positioned 1 1/2 inches toward either end of the boat?
