Seriously thinking about selling my 6'×14' dual axel enclosed trailer and cub Cadet 800cc just to begin building one of these. I'd sell my truck if I didn't need it to pull the boat lol
Really, really nice boat. I like the fact that you don't need a new 1/2 ton truck to pull it. Trying to find a boat that can do fish/hunt duty, haul 2 NFL sized men and a dog but isn't a pontoon. 😁
@@LostAngler I just acquired a 13 foot gheenoe. Has a tohatsu 5hp that runs 16 mph with me. Love it fishing crystal river. 2 people it rides flat and slow. No clue what hp to upgrade to for 2 people to get out to the homosassa flats quicker.
That is how custom Gheenoe did their wiring. They don't run it through the grab bar. I doubt that there would be enough room in the bar to handle the wiring
Do you have a list of all the options to select if I want to order one identical to this boat? I have zero experience with this type of boat so not having pictures on the website to show me the difference between a grab bar and T bar, or the difference between the different cushion options and things like that makes it a bit difficult to really place an order. The boat in this video would be perfect for me though.
Let's say you are coming from using kayaks majority of your boating career. Which is easier? The tiller? The center console? or stick steer? I love this set up especially when using the boat solo. Seems so simply and easy to use. Plus I assume lighter vs the center console setup.
I prefer a small boat to fish like a big boat so I guess my preference goes to stick steering. It's there while you're running, but as soon as you kill the engine there's nothing to walk around or move out of the way. And stick steering can be positioned so the driver is up front. It helps with hole shot and getting up on plane fast vs bury the ass end deeper in the water. Forward seating is ALWAYS better for running solo. Always.
Assuming you have a separate cranking battery did you say that your trolling motor battery is being charged with the outboard running. I know that’s the case for the cranking battery but I didn’t know that you can charge 2 batteries at the same time.
Any time you step into a brand new fiberglass boat your going to get that sound. After that you never hear it again. Good question though. It freaked me out first time I heard it. I was brand new in the boat business and we were about to sea trial a carolina skiff. It was normal I just didn't know it.
@@LostAngler ahh, ok I was just freaked out when I heard that, thinking that the whole deck cracked. Also- do those gheenoes have a separate deck on top of the hull? So like are there drains in the deck that drain down to the bilge?
