8' Oars, flat blade, one pair with 10" oar leathers. The standard flat blade is 5-1/2" wide and the blade length varies in proportion to the oar length.

In 1983, Maine native Mike Severance purchased a strip planked 14' row boat he found in an old barn just off the Piscataqua River, Maine's western boundary.  The boat had very traditional lines but was in very bad shape.  The Maine boat builders he asked to repair the boat suggested that they could also make a fiberglass mold and reproductions of this beautiful pulling boat.  These boats could be sold to help pay for the original boat's repair costs.  Thus the start of the Piscataqua Wherry and Bay of Maine Boats.
