I was checking around on Craigslist and was able to pick up some Carlisle Carbon Fiber Drift Boat Oars. 9 foot with the built in counter balance in the shafts. With the 8 inch magnum blades for a whopping $300. They are rope wrapped and have the rubber oar stopper already installed. I have a set of oar locks I snagged off eBay for $45. So I'm good now. Just have to finish up the boat.
