Brand new 8' Little Drifter. Never used, given to me as a gift I don't need. These boats used to be made by Almarco and the same guy is making them but the name has changed to Redwood Welding Service. The boat weighs 70 lbs. and comes with 2 anchor releases in the stern and 1 removable anchor release in the bow. Very nice boat. It is in Santa Rosa area and I will deliver it within 1 hour drive. $775.00. Call Tim 707 888-5344 :) [/b]

Let's see, if I were to buy that pram, I'd have too find a place to live, split half my assets.

Do you have a photo that you could send me. Has it been registered?

Somebody better buy it soon.

I have the same boat except 10'. It is a perfect boat for our valley rivers and mountain lakes. It is extremely light yet very stable. Somebody better snatch this up quick!

I have the 8' model built my Redwood Welding Company. I picked it up at Brown's just north of the Benbow Bridge on the Eel 10 years ago. It's a mini drift boat vs. a more stable flat bottomed valco style pram.

The picture that Bill furnished is more like the Koffler style or is a Koffler for all I know. The Almarco is a bit different, fundmentally the same and built very well. For example, I heard of a few that were 'sunk' at the mouth of some of Northern California's infamous rivers and they get washed ashore, fully functional, on the adjacent beaches after a tide or two.

I'm sure you'd prefer cash but if there is anything that you'd be willing to accept in trade let me know. You can email me at koffler73@yahoo.com

I have a TON of fly gear I have accumulated over the years. Perhaps we can work out a cash and trade deal for the boat if interested.

Thanks-
Jason

I have the same pram. I love it. It fits perfectly in the bed of my Tacoma. I got mine (used) with sawyer oars for $500.00

So far I've only had it on smaller watersheds, but I plan to hit the lower sac with it in the next week or so.

Wow, that's an awesome pram. Hey Fishrecon, can you let me know how a pram does on the lower sac? ?Always looking for new places to take mine. That's me in my 8ft metalhead pram that Bill posted above. Ed

Ed our prams are flatter, less rock and are a bit more stable to stand up in. Also the floors and transom are thicker.
