Does anyone here have a 1250 Spratley Jon boat?


Recommended Posts

No worries - beautiful pram, BTW.  FWIW, I bought the Marlon to fish two adults comfortably or one adult and 1-2 kids and it does that very well, and it's very manageable with two people.  That said, I found it too awkward to load and unload by myself (my kids are too young to help) and so I ended up trailering it.  Had I known I was going to go the trailer route, I would have probably looked harder at a 14' boat, as I think it would have been a little more versatile.  Just a thought, and YMMV...

14' a little big for one person although it would fit (Marlon) an eide/4 boys boat loader. The 1250 Sp has a 60" beam so fits a boat loader and allows for me to tow a trailer into the backwoods of BC.

My pram/ boat above has a 48' bottom and 65" beam so too wide for a boat loader and on/off would play havoc with the varnish on the gunnels. Unfortunately, one needs a fleet to meet all requirements.

Thanks all.
