Thanks Randy... is a 1/4" bottom going to be sturdy enough?? guess it depends on the water - suppose it would be OK for still water - but I'm not sure I'd want to take it on moving water over rocks... that don't move.... ??

Thank you Randy. I am building a 10' still water pram of my own design. It is kind of a cross between a pram, a sled and a jon boat. I am using 1/4" AC for sides and bottom. The only concern I have is the bottom needs make an 18" bend in 36". The sides and transom are 18" high. The bottom is flat and the bend starts 36" from the bow and needs to rise 18". I am waiting for the weather to warm a bit before I glue up the scarfs. I just tried to add a pic of a cardboard model not sure it worked. tb

Thanks for the welcome. Looking at building a tateman to drift up here.

Randy,
I forgot about how you used ammo containers... I really like that idea.
Maybe I can find something that works at my local military supply store.
Where did you find ammo containers that fit?

Thanks!

Good to hear about the Meranti. I will probably check with you in a couple of weeks to get some.

Het Randy,
Thanx for the the comment. Yes this boat is for sale, I just put it on Craigslist but I don't expect much until spring. I would love to bring it to your show.
Are you guys still selling Plywood?
Mike

Thank you! I first put the boat in the water in 2006 and have had nothing but tremendous fun with it since.

Hi Randy. I actually finished it in June of '05. Pic was taken a few months ago while in the process (still ongoing) of re-finishing. The re-finishing is not nearly as enjoyable as the initial building, I'm finding! A whole lot of sanding and heating the garage to keep it warm enough for varnish - it was 11 degrees this morning.

Will do! Didn't realize this was mostly for drift folks. I need to look into it more though - only had a chance to register.

Hey Randy,

Sure enough, the Wooldridge is a sled but it's my play boat for the lower 34 miles of the Deschutes. It's an 18.5 Extra Plus. I don't guide out of it but often use it to chase steelhead on the lower river. Not as fun as the driftboat, but still an efective tool for catching fish. I look at it as a different challenge on moving water. It opens up some great bird hunting territory as well.

Thanks Randy, I posted the image (Poster), I am new to this as well, so it might be a little big. I will post some images of my boat soon. this is a great blog, I loved the video of the aluminum boat wrapping, ( I'm sure the oarsman didn't care for it) man that stuff is sticky...

Thanks Randy. Long-time fan of wooden boats of all kinds. Future builder...
Wondering why I don't see more wooden boats on the river. Maybe harder economic times will bring back some of that DIY spirit.

Molly is a "one eyed" springer of 3.5 years of age. That pic was taken just over the BC border on our trip to Alaska this last July/August.
I saw your Brit when I picked up the plastic for my boat bottom. I will add a pic if I can figure how.
