    The truth is that you do it very well! I would like to do the same but I'm already old. That adventure is very good and keeps you busy from day to day, and in the city you can't live in peace. I wish you all the good and that you continue making videos because they entertain me a lot, thank you

    Anyone that says that’s not one of the sickest custom build’s ever doesn’t understand or have the knowledge of why you did what you did, I know why and it’s by far one of the coolest bow rider’s I’ve ever seen, truly happy for ya man.

    Awesome boat! The only improvement I would recommend is a small grab bar on either side of the console. When steering from a standing position in the front of a boat with no rest, you want something to grab that isn't part of the controls, because you will grab something if you lose balance or have to lean over for something. Don't want it to be a steering wheel or throttle!
    Love the channel! Been watching since you had about 30K subscribers or less.

    Awesome build . My old roommate bought one years ago maybe 40 yrs ago. He bought from a guy in Florida. We live in Tennessee an I took it out by myself with his dog an had a small stressed crack from the waves in Florida but never had any problems out of the boat . I could jump in with the dog an pull myself in no problem without flipping. I believe it had a old 25 horse motor . To fast for a canoe but loved fishing with it. He still has it . We are both 61 yrs young. Respect man .

    Hey Aaron, congrats on the new boat. When I first looked at it I thought the helm station forward was odd but it made sense when you explained how the boat is going to be used and where you will be running. Great visibility and the weight distribution probably negates any bow rise getting up on plane. It's nice that you have the connect at Gheenoe to make your vision a reality. Enjoy!

    Love the gelcoat bump and totally relate to the sentimentality aspect. The Super 18 is righteous! The planning for camping was brilliant and really like the compact steering wheel. Beautiful mind, my friend. I would miss the stick-steer, but that 90 will rodk. Can't wait for the build video. Go get some lobsters soon!

    Man those guys at Blue Point do such great work. Glad they got a shout out. I wonder how driving from the front will be if there's anything more than a moderate chop. Seems like it'd be real easy to catch air.

    @oliverliddell613 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the boat and your idea to put the helm station forward. There are many examples of this style of design in commercial fishing fleets but I have never seen it on such a small boat. Kudos to you. Even though you get less G forces at the bow I would like to see non skid behind the helm and a rail to keep you secure. That central, open space is huge but suppose it got flooded? I think big drains with jocker valves might be a potential solution. Once you are going forward the water will drain quickly. Same principle in sailing dinghies. Love the channel

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you! love how it came out for sure. its its been pretty well thought out, even full of water the boat shouldn't sink with the amount of foam we built into it!

    I love. Hard to get used to your forward console but I really like it better than your other one. There’s a reason mullet & bully net boats have been setup like that for years. Plus you’re up higher for greater visibility. Can’t wait for y’all’s future videos.

    With your weight on the bow and that 4 blade, I'd imagine your draft is super shallow when running. Really stoked for you. It's an innovative and beautiful boat.

    Thanks - very informative. Very impressed with the boat. I was concerned she would be bow heavy with you standing up there and figured that was why you went with the bigger motor. I have watched other videos and she doesn't appear bow heavy at all so "nice job". I'm completely restoring a pacific dory and your plan for a removable live well really gave me an "ah ha" moment so that was cool. She is so well suited to your life style - VERY well done.

I wanted to move down there so bad,just couldn't talk the wife into it. She does love to fish as well,mabe now since we are both retired. Love the color,love the layout, love the motor. Bet you won't get much sleep for the next month until the newness wears off. Again congratulations!!!!!

When you posted this a while back ago I was in the market for small boat that I could easily transport from Kansas City to the Keys and a few spots I like to fish on the Alabama coast. Long story short, this video heavily influenced me to purchase a Super 18 from the factory! I'm making the drive down to Titusville to pick it up in a few weeks and cannot wait to try it out.

      news to me! guess I should check the weather

    That's a great design for a small boat. I like the up front steering, you'll be able to see the skinny water from up there. And it gave you more space. Very cool. I'm surprised you didn't put a polling platform over the motor for pushing around and for a little fishin' tower. Plus you can put rod holders for trolling, something I love to do.
    Hopefully we'll see you catch plenty of fish and lots of underwater hunting on her. Buena suerte, good luck.

    Neat rig. Looks like it rides well without having to trim bow up very much considering the weight at the bow. Balanced.
    Love the amount of useful space.

    Can’t wait to see all the extras y’all can do with it. Congrats nice setup. I like how you thought about what are you really going to use it for and design around that point. Great job

    whoa. what a build. long story short all of my fishing life was with a 17 ft gheenoe with a 37lb thrust trolling motor and a deep cycle battery. bought when I was born in 83 and sold when I was 36. still going strong. good call on the front console...heads will turn for sure tho lol.

    As promised… here are my matching set of spear guns I made. White oak, neptronics trigger mechanisms, and 5/16 cold rolled round stock for the spears.😊I guess I can’t add the photo. Neptronics still honours your code.thanks again for your response to my questions. It was helpful. I’m off to the west coast Vancouver island area to try them out.

    Cool boat. Guess who gets to be the first to see sandbars up close and personal.

    That boat is so so sick. I’ve always wanted a gheenoe but haven’t found one yet. Loved this walkthrough and can’t wait to see what you can do on that thing!

    I like it. The old one served well and it’s always so fun to move up.

    Nice gheenoe! It’s a Titusville/oakhill style with front console. I really like!

    Another great video - I just picked up a LT25 and the Gheenoe brand was based on your videos. Love your new boat and you deserve it! Can't wait to see some back country adventures with your new baby.
