I would guess that between Bill Kiene and I we know about as much as anyone about the Olympian/Columbia Boats--Bill more than I.Quote:

Stable, decently built for a rolled hill single ply skiff, will take a lot of abuse, fine on the Delta down to super skinny water, nice broad beam.
The motor is probably a throw away so get a 25hp Honda or Yamaha. It will do at least 25 mph. It is practically custom made for fly fishing our local waters. Because of the configuration, I fished two easily from my 12' so the 14' would be that much nicer.
PM me for any questions. I'm a big fan and would buy it today if I was in the market.
John Wallace is 100% spot on......
Somebody buy it.......a steal........fanatic boat for two fly fishers.
Toss the motor and get a new 20 to 25 Yamaha or Honda 4 stroke motor.
I hate those old two strokes but a Yamaha 2 stroke would be OK.
Discussed with the wife last night. She still isn't over the last boat I bought and sold, so I am unfortunately missing this, but hope someone in the market gets it.
It is a shame if no one buys it...so practical.
