So after the loss of the oar my new one showed up without a wrap on it. Whomever made he mistake needs a good kick in the ass cuz wrapping an oar ain't easy. Here are some links to get you going. http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/06/howto/wrapping/index.htm and http://www.paddlesandoars.com/OAR-ROPE-WRAPPING-GUIDE.html I used braided nylon rope from Ace Hardware less then $4, way cheaper than the stuff you buy for wrapping oars and it seems to perform just as well if not better.
The other problem i took on was the construction of a seat cushion. I went to the big box hardware store and picked up a knelling pad for gardening and some Dap Contact Cement (now in gel form!). This combined with some old raft patch material i had just lying around from a previous experiment and tada! A seat cushion with the Stuber grumpy face on it!
