Plywood stitch and glue pram

[JimD]

'Pointless' will be a Selway Fisher Simplicy 8 in occume. The building form is on wheels as the garage is getting rather crowded with other boats and the weather is almost nice enough to be outdoors:

Yesterday I dabbed in mini fillets between the stitching. Enough to hold it together while I remove the stitches. Later today I will take out the stitching and finish the inside filleting.

Starting to look very boat-like!

I want to build a little pram like that. How do I get plans? What does she weigh?

Many designers have plans for this type of vee bottomed pram. I got mine from Paul Fisher here http://www.selway-fisher.com/Otherupto10.htm . This one could be built as light as 55 pounds but by the time I'm done building in floatation and storage compartments mine will probably come in around 75#. You may even find something you like for free such as the D4 pram from Jacques Mertens http://www.bateau.com/freeplans.php which has been replaced by a newer D5 pram.

There are several free plans on networks..
Try Bateau (http://www.bateau.com/freeplans.php) for D4 plan. This is almost like the one Jim is building..
