You need only decide what length oars you desire. For an 11 footer with its 5 foot beam I recommend 8 foot oars.

There are different formulas to figure this one out, I have an 1978 11 whaler and have 6'6" oars and they work just fine...

Kayjacbru:
I have a very nice pair of oars in my storage shed, they are at least 6' long. They have these oarlocks on them:

If you will send me your e-mail address (mine is blacksmithdogatgmaildotcom) I will send you pictures and dimensions. If you are interested, I will sell them to you at a reasonable price plus shipping.

Went through this in the spring with a 1980 11ft Sport. Best is 7.5 to 8ft if you expect to get out of any trouble when the engine fails.
