If pram is still avaulable at $250.00, I'll take it, Brig Jones.

Before they stopped making this boat it was over $1000 just for a bare hull.

This is a no brainer if you ever wanted a great one man 8 foot pram for almost free?

Yeah, good move Brig. I was on the verge myself. You may have saved me a bit of marital discord.

Prams are a very special thing to fly fish out of for most.

Any small boat from 8 to 14 feet is a great thing to expand your fly fishing experience.

Any of them from $500 or less are a bargain.

The reality is that they don't really make most of them anymore so they are not easily found.

This one was way too cheap.....$500 would have been a bargain.

Quick question: if one was never going to install a motor, would they still be required to register it?

BTW, do you know what it weighs?

One more question: it seems as if the seats are optimized for motoring. The open space in the middle would seem to be a more likely rower's seat. Sitting in the bow bench to row would seem to dig the front in and hinder efficient gliding?
