My gym used to have an awesome rowing machine that had a video monitor
attached.  You kept pace with the computer, which showed your progress
as a boat, and the computer's pace boat.  As the pace picked up, a
helicopter dropped more rowers in the computer's boat and things sped
up.  To slow down, a shark fin passed in front of the boat and the
number of rowers was reduced.  I'm looking for the name of company and
model, to see if they offer a modern version for purchase.

Yep, that will be fine.  If you know the name and model it would be
great, if not I'll contact the seller.  Great work!

Dear Draxe,

Description:

BALLY'S LIFE ROWER CARDIO ROWER MSRP 

Starting bid:  US $399.99

?BALLY'S LIFE ROWER CARDIO ROWING MACHINE LOS ANGELES.  THIS BALLY
ROWING MACHINE WORKS GREAT.  I AM MOVING ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IT. 
A LOCAL WEBSITE SAYS THE MSRP NEW IS $2,995 AND THEY ARE SELLING A
USED ONE FOR $895.00.

Club owners and operators used to say rowing was too difficult and too
boring. They where right... That is until Life Fitness used the
technological magic of video games to turn dull stationary rowing
exercise into an interactive regatta adventure: the Liferower total
body conditioner.

Now everyone can learn rowing exercise, take advantage of highly
effective full-body aerobics and have fun in the process.

Key Features: Scrolling screen tutorial teaches beginners proper form
and gives specific instructions on use of legs, back and proper arm
position.?

Time left:  2 days 20 hours
