<p>Brian, great job on building that very historic design, not too many of those around.</p>
<p>Shawn, I had the same problem with my flared 18 x 54 dory, I had to modify the oarlock block as well, I think 12 degrees. Regarding oarlocks, I have been using some from the Eugene Foundry for the last 20 years, they have a larger inner diameter than most retail commercial locks out there. Be sure to check the length of the shank. 5 years ago, they were $15.00 each! Ask for the "Franks" oarlock: …</p>

<p>Hi Brian,</p>
<p>for my launch, I simply drilled the gunnel spacers. DEFINITELY not enough angle, and my oars were binding in my NRS oarlocks. I think I need a 15° angle (steeper/more vertical) from the angle iron plate. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">what angle did you use?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>I built a set out of mild steel and sent them to a foundry to have cast...then everything shut down. May need to build another pattern and see if I can get my own foundry working so…</p>

<p>Thanks Shawn.</p>
<p>I actually got some scrap stainless steel pipe and square tubing from a local used metal place ($20). Cut and ground everything to fit and had a friend of a friend weld it ($25). Then just popped some bushings in ($12)and wa-la!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Next time I do it, I will move the pipe in towards the center of the boat so that the max diameter of the pipe will be at the bottom and not the top, or at least in the middle. As well as steepen the angle a bit more. </p>

<p>You might want to replace the plain nuts with acorn nuts so that if you are fishing you won't catch you fly line or waders on the rough bolt ends.</p>
