Are you involved with rowing? I don't know much about it, (other than it's big on the east coast). My nephew is on the crew at Yale, he was a walk-on freshman who had never rowed and made first string. 60 Minutes did a piece on his team, not sure when it's going to air.
it's not only overkill, you can watch the gas gauge go down on the smaller second tank.

I rowed in college and coached for 5 years after, some of the best years of my life. My planned for dream retirement will be to coach rowing while restoring one longhood every 6 months.

As your nephew will find/has already found out, there is nothing like rowing. it changes you.
