Is the website inventory current?
Inventory is current on our website!
We do have a section of recently sold inventory, but those items are clearly labeled SOLD in the heading and the website says "this item is currently out of stock". We keep these on the website to show folks values of similar boats.
Please read the "SHIPPING" website tab BEFORE requesting a quote (top of home page). We have a whole page dedicated to explaining the shipping process.
Do you give appraisal values for other Shells?
Sorry, but we can NO longer offer this service. The best way to figure out market value from us is to click on "SORT inventory" link on our homepage and at the bottom you will see a "recently sold" section. This will show you recently sold boats, and their selling price.
Do you sell parts for rowing shells?
Unfortunately, we no longer sell parts (like seats, riggers, etc) for classic shells. We recommend an ebay search.
Where is Rowable Classics Located and hours of operation?
Our 2 primary inventory locations are Thomaston, Maine and Pittsboro, North Carolina. However, we also have boats in other locations across the United States. Each product description tells where the inventory is located. Inventory is available to be seen in person by appointment only, as we don't have regular "store hours". Calls and emails are often returned during evening and weekend hours due to other full time employment.
Can I sell my rowing shell on rowableclassics.com ?
YES! In an effort to continue Darryl’s life mission to connect

services via our website for Classic wood rowing shells.
