I was 6' and close to 200 lbs when I built my Surf in the very

just right.Today,I'm still 6' but a wee bit heavier and if my memory
isn't totally lost,I recall that the foot pegs on the lower inside
surface of the hull offer three possible distances and that the
rowing seat is placed atop the main frame and goes forward to the
mast step( a fore and aft centerline bench).This will allow you lots
of adjustment for the positioning of your body, whether rowing alone
or with a passenger.
Post some pictures in the SURF file of this group and share the
fruits of your labours with the rest of us:-)

It is time to install the oarlocks on my
surf, and I am wondering if the placements shown on the plans are
good. I weigh 210#. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Richard
