 Greg Tatman offers wonderful drift, pram and rowboat kits. Their kits are available in a variety of excellent wood grain finishes: fir, Meranti plywood (a high-quality, mahogany-like plywood) or Sepelle plywood (which has a tighter grain and a richer, darker color). These wood options produce great looking, exceptional quality boats for the money. For example you can build a super quality 12' or 14'
rowboat for about $820!

They also offer a rowboat kit, in 12', 14' or 16' lengths. It is the
classic rowboat- styled vessel, however it gets its propulsion from oars, unlike the drift
boat that uses a flowing river as its primary source of propulsion.
The drift boat is a “banana shaped”, wide-bottom vessel
– from 12' to 17½'
long, with a 54" beam. According to the kit manufacturer, its hull design gives
it superior holding and tracking ability.
The third boat kit offered is a pram. According to this kit manufacturer,
“the 12' pram is probably the best all-around river fishing boat in our line. It has fairly high sides and a square bow to give it better flotation and carrying capacity”.
Options and accessories include oars, oar seats, passenger seats, floor boards, anchoring systems, bottom protection, trailers, storage compartments, boat covers and transom seats.
Greg Tatman Wooden Boats, Inc. is located in Springfield, Oregon.
