Little one man wooden dingys were used up on the north coast in the tide water for fly fishing for salmon and steelhead.

That's an interesting design but I'm not sure I'd like to have that center divider running the length of the deck. As I recall, at some of the home made, wooden prams used on the north coast were called a Toro. They were about 6' to 7' in length, same V hull and had a bench seat with a seat back in it for comfort. Storage space on the deck behind the seat. They were really tricked out. Apparently, they were stable as I saw many fly guys standing in them while casting in the Eel/Mad River estuaries. Easily transported in the bed of a pick-up. Wonder if they're still around (since I last saw one in the early 80's)???
