Plastic WinTech Pontoons - Pair, w/ Brackets

I turn 80 in a couple of weeks. We’ve lived in the FL Keys the last eight years. It was difficult to get to good rowing water so we kept the boats, two 16’ Aldens and two 24’ Win Tech Explorers bagged and hung up. A year ago we moved. AWESOME lake. While I rowed the more stable Aldens I was afraid my old body wouldn’t make it back into my 24 if/when I rolled it. Lisa spotted the “training wheels” and they are a game changer. We’ve had a couple of good rowing days last week. I feel safe and no longer worried about rolling it. I’m big and old so the idea of “ training wheels” doesn’t bother me. I’ve lived and rowed in Alaska and on Cold New England days. I’ve gotten back in the boat but these days I’m rowing my “big boat” and loving it again. Thanks WinTech for a great solution!

work well, but perhaps there might be a different approach to locking the vertical post at one or more levels. Aligning the vertical post and inserting the pin at the selected level can be awkward when standing in water next to boat as boat moves with water or in reaction to attempts to insert pin while setting post at proper level. Some sort of quick clamp, while a little more complex, might be better. Even with the boat in a sling (not in the water) the post setting and pin insertion process is a bit awkward. Thanks for asking, Ted
