Hey fellas, a member on another board recently built a light-weight, small but very stable pram for less than a $100 using basically no more than a jigsaw and hammer. Moreover, he has tested it and it seems to perform really well. I think it's really cool and am now considering building one too, as I can see getting a lot of satisfaction out of fishing from something home-built (you know, kind of like tying your own flies?).
Anyway, here's a link to his post that describes the steps he took to build it, along with pictures along the way, as well as photos of him testing it and his observations. The thread discussion also reveals some of his thinking and experience with it, so you'll want to read the whole thread if you get interested. Well worth checking out in my opinion if you have been considering this sort of thing:
