Is the Predator a frameless?

I would strongly suggest NOT using longer oars. With the rack and pinion oar system and glued on oarlock pad, longer oars would increase the stress on that system and it will eventually fail. The frameless boats have been designed to use shorter oars for that reason.

It has nothing to do with the weight of the oars. With longer oars it creates more power, which causes more torque on the rack and pinion and glued oarlock pad. Not a big deal on lakes if you have a failure, but could have catastrophic consequences on a river!
