Well, it was a long time in coming but it was definitely worth the wait. Ten years ago I stumbled across a rare M-5’8”. It was severely abused and needed lots of love. I had visions of restoring this little gem and came to the conclusion this project was going to be challenging. If I were to be successful with this restoration, I would need to use my ultimate multi-purpose tool. It can fix anything with ease. So I broke out my checkbook and took the little pram to a professional. This past weekend I picked up my renewed boat! The only problem I discovered..….the Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries are so dirty, I’m not sure I want to place my new boat in such murky water! It would be an absolute shame to get this little gem dirty. 🤣
I’ve attached a few before and after pictures. My goal was to restored the pram to match my M-15. I plan to tow the pram behind me when I’m out for long weekends. I’m sure there’ll be a learning curve figuring out how best to tow the pram and transitioning between the two. But this will have to wait until spring.
