I was driving through the area and it was wicked. Lots of rain in our location too. Years back I had my 18’ boat tied up at Wapato Pt in Chelan. A storm came through that sunk many boats. Mooring lines broke and boats were free drifting and bouncing of other boats all night long. It was a...

@rattlesnake Here is a photo of some vintage streamer hooks and salmon hooks that were in the lot. These are long out of production.

The Port Ludlow club sale today, I could not resist buying these hooks. This is old school organization! I love it. I’m not sure I’ll need these, but it was kinda an all or nothing deal. Half the fun is looking through the hooks and thinking about how to use them! If you see anything...

I picked up 3 “J Bobbins” today at a garage sale. I’m sure they are quality, with the reputation of J Vise. Has any forum members tried them out? It appears you can still order them, and the price is under $40. I’m thinking that’s a great price for a specialty product like this.

I’m late to read this Dave but thanks for the report. Great fun on the damsels and I’m happy to hear they be returning enough for the trout to key on them.

Can you share a photo of your boat please!

I sold my SeaLaker when I moved but it was a fun little boat. Well made (Auburn I think) with fiberglass stringers and some great features. Feel free to send a PM if you have any questions I might be able to answer.

I wondered about that too

Hey Steve! We try not to have them all in one location at the same time, making it difficult to count them up 😆

Here is a nice Spring Creek Pram in Yakima. Includes the Sawyer Oars.

I love this thread! I hope this post qualifies… I actually helped my Dad on this one. His 1989 SeaSport’s 250hp died before his boating days were over. We decided to sell the 22’ behemoth and see what comes available. I sold that boat in a day, for 22K cash money! Wow, I could have sold two...

I remember seeing this pram for sale. I think you scored a nice boat and it looks very comfortable to fish from!

If you are not in a hurry, I am working with a machine shop here in Port Townsend to build a set of risers that will range from 3-4 inches. I may take 3 months or so to get it all figured out. Feel free to message me if you are in a rush and I can share some other options.

What a pleasant surprise. These jobs you have to prepare yourself for the worse, and if it works out like this, hooray!
