Cheap looking. Paint can be scraped with a fingernail. If you're looking for cheap oars, these are for you. Just don't expect too much for the money.

I used these oars only three times. The third time one of the oars broke. Talking about stuck up the river!

These are great oars they are super light though very durable they are easy to use the only down side is the paint comes off around the oarlocks

Very well made for the price. Rounded handles are easy on even the smallest hands and the sturdy construction allows for a great deal of abuse when teaching young people how to row.

Answers
A:
I have six foot oars for a 12' boat and they work fine.I was told a "rule of thumb" that the oars should be half the length of the boat.
A:
the standard way to calculate proper oar size depends on the span between the oarlocks, rather than length. here's how it goes:measure the distance between the oarlocks. divide by 2, then add 2 inches. take this number, multply by 25, divide by 7, and that's your approximate answer in inches.
for example, if a boat is 48 inches between the oarlocks, then the proper size is: 48/2=24+2=26. 26x25=650/7= approx. 93. That's 7 feet, 9 inches. thus, either 7-1/2 or 8 foot oars should work well.
performance rowers with a rowing shell may do it differently, but this formula works well for most rowing craft.
