2020 Nesting dinghy with Oars and Oarlocks (Ozona X pram)

We finished building this pram in May 2020 and we were able to use it for one cruising season in Florida (March-July 2021).

We're moving overseas and it sadly would be too expensive to ship, so we're letting her go. We're located at a marina on the Ortega River in Jacksonville, so you can take her out for a test ride.

The total build took about 130 hours over several weeks and the total cost was about $3000 (that's $1400 for the pram kit and $1600 for additional supplies for finishes, parts, oars, etc.). The basic kit alone costs $1600 now.

*We're asking $1700 for everything (negotiable).

You can row, sail, and motor this dinghy! The boat designer, JF Bedard, has received awards for his boat designs (he also works as a boat designer for Island Packet!).

This nesting dinghy is ideal for 2-3 crew (or 2 adults and 2 children). Rows like a dream!

Built from durable marine-grade wood, this nesting dinghy rows exceptionally well. Sail parts can be made or bought separately--see info below. The pram also handles an outboard just fine (we used a 2-stroke and later an electric motor).

We share the entire build process of this nesting pram here: https://www.youtube.com/c/WayfindersNow/videos (4-part videos)

Specs:
• Length overall: 10ft
Draft: 6in.
Displacement: 565lb (total weight it can carry)
• Beam: 4.1ft
• Smaller footprint: The seats are removable to reduce nesting size to 62″x50″x21″ with each half weighing less than 50lb.

What's included with purchase:
• Dinghy hull
Centerboard and rudder (for sailing)
• Sail plans (digital)
• Flat Blade Spruce Oars and Leather Collars (made by Chesapeake Light Craft, orig. $230)
• Oarlocks (MARINE CITY 316 Stainless-Steel, orig.$50)

*Sailing rig sold separately by Bedard Yacht Design (bedardyachtdesign.com).

The bottom has usual wear and tear, but overall, it's in excellent condition and will last for many years to come.
