Old Town Columbia - Have you paddled one?

An opportunity to purchase a Kevlar Old Town Columbia has fallen into my lap. I’m going to take a look at it tomorrow morning.

Does anyone have any experience with and/or recall the specs for this boat? I know it’s over 18’ long and primarily a lake boat. I’m considering it for lake camping trips with the family and need something I can cram the wife, kids, and dog into. Would this fit the bill?

Any responses are appreciated.

Have a look at this water test with specs page:

This model was introduced in 1984 and the 1987 catalog page is shown below. Good luck,

Hello,

Jake decided to pass on the Columbia so I will be posting it here later today or tomorrow. If anyone is interested in this awesome Kevlar canoe let me know. Thanks

The boat was in great shape and looked like it would be a fast hull, it just didn’t seem to have the capacity I would need for the whole family.

If I had more storage I would have bought it for a later stage in life when the kids could actually contribute to paddling a tandem.
