This is one of the most popular fly fishing prams of all times.

Were $1100 new for just the hull about 5 years ago and are no longer made.

I have had one and they are great for one or two people.

They weight around 100# which is very light for 10'.

0.050" and riveted. Nice seats too.

They are the widest 10' Jon boat made at 44" at the bottom.

They made them in 8', 10', 12' and 14'. All the same width.

Many in Nor Cal have the one man 8 footers.

The 10' is perfect for one or two.

They use the 12' and 14' traditionally on Fall River for many years now.

Western made the same basic pram.

Just a plug for Valco prams. In 1972 I bought a used 8 foot Valco for $100 and today 35 years later I see absolutely no requirement to replace it. No leaks and no hull damage.

Thanks for the pictures. That boat is awesome. My dad used to have a 12' jon boat. They are super nice. If I could afford it, I'd be all over it.

Once again, darn the bad timing.

Would that go cartop easily?
