Re: BOAT OARS
You want paddles not oars, size is dictated by the stowage space you have on the boat. Most are 3' - 3' 6" long. There is no formula, just have a look at what is available & what will fit.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Everyone has to learn sometime, I was lucky enough to learn as a small child. Don't worry about asking questions.
