Thanks, Mike. I've been obsessively reading the forum posts at the association site you mention. I want to joing the cruising Yahoo! group also, but I can't remember my darn password for Yahoo!, having signed up for that 10 years ago... Rats! Even though I have no plans to race the boat if I buy her, I will definitely re-register with the association.
Once a member of the association, they have member access to technical documents, including various methods for mounting an outboard. I simply can't remember if my previous GP14 had oarlock fittings, but it must have, because I vaguely remember having my oars from my 8ft pram aboard. I can't remember ever rowing the GP, all I remember is sailing out of the lagoon once under power of only the jib. Lesson learned, if you want to sail out of port simply, hoist the main, then hoist the jib. Otherwise, it's impossible to keep the boat pointed into the wind to hoist the main...
I hope those oars are still laying around the beach house somewhere... Or, I get new ones. Yes, a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money...
