Tayler-
For your first boat, you probably want to build a stitch and glue pram. Unfortunately, a large majority of plans (free or for $$) are tenders and/or sailing dinghys. They are ok for fishing, but are not as stable as a true flat bottom fishing pram. On the up side, they row better. Be carefull of the 1 sheet designs; they are small. 1 1/2 sheet is more typical for a boat with reasonable width and freeboard. I consider building a pram every few years, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Do a Google search for "stitch and glue pram plans" and you'll find a fair number of plans. Check out http://www.svensons.com/boat/ as one example. If you post this question on one of the boat building forums you'll get a ton of help.

Try the free plans here for the D4, a very popular dinghy. I built the boat and it is fairly easy. It is stitch and glue and not a bad little boat.

However, you might want to just purchase plans for the boat you really want. Most boats of this size have plans that go for $25 to $35.
I have my experience building the boat on my website. a motivated person could build it in a few weeks, it took me two years :roll: One workd of advice, take care with that epoxy! Those drips and splatters need to be sanded flat later. Save yourself some work by applying the epoxy neatly.
