Olo is a copy of a 1960’s Keith Steele drift boat which had been modified to be self bailing and used with Martin Litton on commercial trips through the Grand Canyon. She was too small to be commercially viable and ended up rotting in a field where she was found and rebuilt by Flagstaff Arizona boat builder Brad Dimock. Working with Brad, I pulled the lines and offsets and built Olo. She is now being used to introduce young people to the joy of rowing wood in moving water.
