Rowing as in the sport of crew, tends to be pretty expensive to be a part of. The positions made with the body and shear physical effort exerted requires immense amouts of training for the average person, so you need a qualified coach (which costs money). You also need a boat to row in... which are about as expensive as a car... a single rower's boat costs about $7,000 (and that's without anything fancy on it) and 8+ boats can cost $40,000. Then you have to pay for a place to put the boats (ie. a boat house because they will not fit in your garage), and insurance for the boat, in case you would crash.... Yes it is an expensive sport.
Shells are very expensive. An new eight can cost anywhere from 25k to 45k dollars. Fours can be 15k to 30k and doubles and singles can be anywhere from 10k and up. Used or refurbished shells are out there though.
Water rowing machines can vary in price depending on stores, locations, and sale prices. There are a number of businesses that carry them. They can be found at most fitness equipment stores and online on websites such as Amazon.
A basic Concept 2 wooden handle oar set sells for around $250. Boats vary based on number of seats anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000.
