I thought those water based ones are meant to be the actual hifi simulation of a boat on water. Does C2 make those ? The air rowers at gyms are fine value for m

  In my experience, water based rowers are a joke compared to the air resistance ones. Every person I've ever talked to who owns one has said it developed a leak in one or more ways and is otherwise a huge pita to maintain. Hence, the owners of these machines invariably end up never using them. My C2 has none of these concerns and is always ready for use immediately. Also, consider for a moment the physics involved. Air is a fluid, just like water, and behaves in exactly the same ways. It is simply less dense and requires greater surface area to produce the same resistance. Air is also compressible and seems to produce a much more consistent stroke. If you want the real thing, get an actual row boat and put it on a lake. Adding water to the machine does not add any degree of authenticity to the experience.
