Conversations stop when a Tango 17™, "The Mountain Bike of the Sea for Two" strokes into view. The Tango 17™  is fast and easy to row. It changes in seconds from a high tech double sliding seat rowing boat to a fixed seat rowing boat that can carry up to four or five persons.                              A pleasure to row, a safe and seaworthy in rough wave conditions.                                                              Standard features included on each boat are shown below.

Sliding Seat. This slide seat design has been used for over a century. Seat holes and cutaway fit the coccyx and sit bones. Wheels roll in anodized tracks for ultra smooth sliding action.	Footstops. Adjustable foot stretcher fits any leg length. Velcro straps enable regular footwear to be worn by the rower.  Heel cups adjust up or down for varying shoe sizes.
Outriggers. These cast aluminum outriggers create the correct span for 9’6” carbon fiber sculling oars. The rower can remain seated when the outrigger is hinged inboard.	Outriggers Inboard. Outriggers hinge inboard when coming alongside a dock or boat. By being closer to the dock, the boat is more stable, safer and easier to get in and out of.
Fixed Seats. The sliding seats are easy to remove. The fixed seats which stow flush to the floor between the track risers, can then be snapped into place. Fixed seats enable up to five people be seated aboard.	Traditional Oarlocks. Traditional 1/2" oarlock sockets cast into the outrigger bases allow traditional style rowing from the  fixed seat using regular traditional style oars.
Non-Skid. Top quality  nonskid located on the cockpit floor prevents slipping and makes it safer and easier to move around. Dog-friendly.	Drain plug. Pulling the plug when storing the boat out of the water keeps the hull from collecting rain water and makes draining easier when hosing the boat down.
Mushroom Cleat. Cleats are used for hanging fenders or spring lines when tying to a dock. The mushroom shape has no sharp corners  to help prevent snagging on clothing.	Batten Ends. The batten ends come installed ready for battens. Battens enable a boat cover to shed rain water. See the accessories page for ordering a set Lexan battens.
Sturdy Bow/Stern eyes. A recessed bow eye protects other boats from damage and takes the worry out of coming alongside.  They are strong  enough to lift or tow the boat.	Tie-Downs. Conveniently secure your cushions or gear using these durable plastic tie downs, suitable for webbing strap. See cushions on the accessories page.
