Paul...I wanted to share pictures of the Montana pram I’ve been working on, I wanted to build a small and stable rowing boat for my granddaughter (and parents!) to explore their 15 acre pond. It’s full of frogs, herons, turtles and fish and is big enough for adventures but not so big that they’ll get into trouble.
I bought a set of plans from Duckworks for your pram, and I slightly modified it by stretching it to 11 ft LOA. I’ve built several boats, and appreciate the simple yet functional and elegant lines of this pram. I added quarter knees, more because I like the looks than because they were needed. I ran out of warm weather this fall, so it’s sitting ready to paint and launch this coming spring. I just wanted to thank you for a beautiful design and I’m sure it will be just perfect for me to take my 2 granddaughters on some adventures.
Best,
Ken
