I have had this size Valco which is one of the most stable prams and is fairly light weight.

Perfect for one or two people.

10' long

45" at bottom

55" at gunnel

0.060" riveted aluminum

These prams were over $1,000 just for the bare hull when they quit making them about 20 years ago.



**You can't buy anything like this now and some think we should try to get someone to make them again.

Bill / anyone

Do you know places go store boats in Redding area?

Can’t keep in SF, wondering if there are other options to store them.

Check with The Fly Shop in Redding?

Maybe on of those self storage places?

You might also try googling RV storage facilities in Redding.

The 2 RV parks in Lewiston will, maybe try the ones in Redding right off I-5 on south end of town? Can’t recall their names but google maps will show them. I’ve seen drift boats parked at one.

Lots of storage facilities in Redding plus at least one in Palo Cedro and maybe one in Anderson which you pass by en route to Redding. Just need to Google storage facilities in the Redding area.

That’s the pram you want for stability, standing and casting. Great Fall River, Baum Lake, Manzanita Lake etc boat. This boat’s no longer manufactured and with the extras included this is a deal!

Today when you see one of these prams you need to jump on them.....very hard to find when you think you need one.

These are great little boats. Like someone already said, perfect for Fall River, Baum, etc. I have the 14' version and love it...it's very stable. They're getting hard to find in this condition. Someone should jump on it, especially with all the extras!
