    OK - No takers on my Metal Head pram for $2,500 - so how about $2,200 OBO.

    This is one of, if not the best 8-foot pram ever made. Mine had all the bow anchor roller and transom cleat special made to be removed-quick installed; battery box for the electric motor, wire conduit and batter bus bar, the works.

    Anyone interested can e-mail me at danblanton43@gmail.com or call my cell 408-398-6143.

    If you want to purchase it, you'll have to pick it up at my home in Morgan Hill.

    This fully loaded 8' Metal Head is the "Holy Grail" of one man prams.

    Did the Metalhead prams come painted or was this a custom add later? I have seen them in various colors, pretty neat looking

    I think most came painted but 'no paint' might have been possible too.


    They are the Cadillac of welded heavy gauge alloy prams.

    Many were bought with the Metal Head custom trailers, especially the 10' and 12'.

    The one-man 8-footers, like Dan's here, went inside Suburbans, in pickup beds, or were car-topped.


    Today, these do not come up for sale very often.

    If you look at Dan's in person, you will buy it.

    They're a piece of art.

    Bill, I thought Dan sold that pram about 3-4 years ago?

    Maybe it did not sell back then?

    Just weighed my 8 footer. 111lbs. It has some added diamond plate on the floor and a diamond plate seat.

    Thanks Ed.
    I've always wondered what the Metalheads weigh.
