I've seen Sears' 'Sairy Gamp' at the Adirondack Museum. I'm not sure I 
would even like to get in it.

Not that exact model but I have an older version. I also got the optional 
keel for a little more stability. It pumps up quickly with two main side 
tubes and ports on the decks and coaming. I've never fished from it.

When I lived in New Hampshire I built a 8' stitch-and-glue pram in a 
second floor apartment. It was a very rainy spring and I was bored. It fit 
in the back of my pickup, which was handy, and in a small rented storage 
locker since there was no way I was going to carry it back up the stairs. 

Mostly I rowed but I did have one memorable fishing experience. I thought 
I'd hooked a lunker but when I got it close to the boat it was a snapping 
turtle. The boat wasn't big enough for both of us so I cut the line.

It was fun. I could row around the rivers and the Great Bay. You had to 
watch the time since it was all tidal. When I left NH I left it on the 
beach above high tide with the oars and other accessories. I hope someone 
got use of it.
