I saw this mini-drifter on the SF Craigslist. http://sfb...g/eby/boa/736750570.html

Looks like a nice boat and the price is right.

Hey Anglerboy,

Here's an oldie but a goodie. It's a late eighties 8' Western ( made by Shasta Aluminum out of Redding, CA ) that measures 54" wide. At one time they were a pretty common sight in the north state. You might have even seen one or more of them chained to a tree near the launch ramp on a small, but popular lake.













The Eide removable, flip up - flip down wheels make getting to the water, where there is no vehicular access much less labor intensive. In effect turning the boat into gear cart which can eliminate making return trips for motor, battery, fishing gear, etc..

The best advice I can offer, keep the decks clear and uncluttered.

All said, it rarely see's the light of day anymore.....

A friend of ours has a Valco 12 ft aluminum pram for sale. Includes boat trailer, 5hp gas drive motor. He is asking 1,500 for all. It looked to be in good condition. I cannot remember if it was outfitted with swivel seats or not. If interested, contact me and I will give you friend's name. It is the type pram we use on our lakes and Fall River .
