    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 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.
