I'm looking at a number of different pond boats. Mostly 9 or 10 feet.

I have access to a pond, but it is restricted to NO MOTORS. While there are a number of other non-restricted ponds I can fish, this one is close and full of 1.b bass.

Can I row the pond boat? Are they set up for rowing? I can add oarlocks, but only if the rowing works reasonably well. The entire pond is only 8 acres. so the rowing distance isn't an issue.

Does anyone own a pond boat that they row on occasion?

Thanks for any help. R

Because of it's wide platform it's not ideal, but can be done. I have learned that using the kayak style oar (double blade) works better than a singe blade oar. You'll get better response. It will also help to have a makeshift rudder on the back.
