10' Olympian Pram by Columbia

[tcorfey]

Good shape and comes with an emergency paddle and a lightly used Minn Kota Enduro 55lb thrust electric motor. I used it mostly with the oars from my pontoon boat to avoid registration fees.

Fits in a std pickup bed. Fit into my short bed F150 with the tailgate down.

These are very stable boats rated up to 7.5 hp motor with a capacity of 376 lbs, boat probably weighs 80-90lbs. I have decided to keep it for now.

Somebody better buy it, right now.

It is an extreme bargain.

This is one of the top fly fishing prams for one or two anglers.

Many run 9.9 hp and ever 15 hp outboards.

A 6 hp would be OK.

You would find one when you want one for under $1,000.

Thanks Bill for the endorsement, caught a lot of fish out of that boat but, have not used it in a few years and the wife wants me to cleanup the yard, so putting it out there for the next person.

For those who have not had a small boat/pram, this 10' boat could really change their lives.

Keeping it

This is a $2,000 boat new with no options but I don't think they make them anymore.

I had some of them myself in different lengths.

I had one made for me about 20 years ago, a 12 footer, that I car topped with an Eide electric loader.

I have to confess that I bought and sold lots of wonderful boats that I should have kept.



This 10 footer is perfect for one or two fly fishers and has a tri-hull.

You could cartop it with a rack, put it in a pickup bed or get a small trailer.


If I was still in CA I would buy for my grandkids who are in their 20s.



I would make a deck between the front deck and the middle seat to stand on and fly cast.

Get a 6hp to 9.9hp new 4 stroke tiller outboard.

Then put a new light weight Lithium battery, life jackets and gas take under that deck



This is a bargain..............and would open up a new world of fly fishing for you.
