Long story short, My nephew was joining me on an outing with our pontoon boats. I was leaving earlier taking my boat on my trailer and he asked if I could take his boat as well because he was taking a car. This would mean he could leave his boat assembled rather than taking it all down to fit inside his trunk. I agreed and loaded his boat on top of mine then strapped them to the trailer. I placed his oars under the boats but on top our other gear and wedged them in pretty tight. I was confident they were secure
I was wrong. When I arrived at the destination, one of his oars was missing. Aside from ruining our outing, now I need to replace his oar and oar lock. Most outlets offer the oars in pairs. The oar I need to replace is the basic 6 foot 2 piece oar (#801) from The Creek Company at $39.99 and the oar lock that bolts around the oar shaft (#825) priced at $12.99, then add the shipping charges to that total.
My intentions were honorable as I tried to help save him some time by taking his gear with me, but due to my negligence, I am compelled to replace the oar. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions to offer where I might pick up this oar and oar lock at a lower cost? I appreciate your ideas. Otherwise this lesson is gonna cost me more than $60.
Appreciated.
