22mph was my 13' Sport / 35 hp Rude 2 stroke , Alum.prop. & needed 6 gals for a 1/2 day of hard running to several spots . Change nothing, its all well thought out as it is. 👍
You are the master of the Gheenoe. A stealth boat that can make things happen. I am amazed that you can get from bow to stern in 2.39 seconds, over-under-around gear. A specialized angling vessel.
Another great video Justin. I have a 40 hp Mercury on my 13" whaler, I always use REC 90 gas ( no ethanol) gas for the boat. Ethanol will break down the gas line clogging the carb. Keep those video rollin. 👍
I have the same gheenoe. I fish creeks and never need an outboard. I use my transom mount trolling motor to put around the creeks. I’m 6’4 250lbs. It’s stable for me but I got good sea legs. I have fallen off before when standing on the seat and my buddy shook the boat. Definitely gets a bit sketchy the more gear you bring.
Thanks for the info. I’m new to the channel, but I’ve had a 15 foot Gheenoe (2 actually) since I was a kid. I thought I had thought of everything. You took it to another level. Jack plate, stake and the Castaway flooring are must have’s. And I’m happy you showed how the Yeti stays secured. I don’t know why, since I fish mostly by myself, I have more crap to trip and fall over than you have fishing with 2 people. I don’t even fish with live bait, and I don’t have a push-pole. Thanks again. Big help!
I just picked one of these boats up and have an old 9.9 evinrude I am going to try out so looking around. That jack plate at 11:40, cool, that's a great idea, but it's half of what I paid for my whole setup, guess I'll see how she runs as is first.
You’ve inspired me to redo my custom LT25 Gheenoe, issue is I really want to upgrade the motor (1998 25HP Suzuki) for a brand new motor and everything is on back order for 6+ months possibly a year before I can get the motor I want.. Looks like I’m fixing my motor lol
Great video sharing your tools! Like your customizations! Just as an add I am sure you run the motor out of gas while it's still in the water right? Otherwise your impeller won't last long...lol
Nice video, I am thinking about getting a Gheenoe when I semi retire so I am in the "gathering information " mode right now. Your video was very informative, one thing I didn't see on Your boat was a depth gauge ...is that neccessary for a Gheenoe?
I’ve had a 15.4 and classic, the classic is way more stable and better suited for the fishing you do, 15.4 is only better if you’re paddling, dragging, or very limited budget.
Love your videos - keep up the good work. Trolling motor question - does the tiller motor you have on your Gheenoe do everything you need/want or - given the choice - would you rather have one with powerdrive and/or iPilot? (recognizing the significant $ and weight increases those add) Also - what's the shaft length on your motor? Looking to add a TM to my LT25.
Great info. I'm your same height but a little heavier with bad balance since I broke my ankle. I've been wondering for a while if I would have sufficient balance on a high sider or if I would need to get a classic. What's your opinion? I've been in a classic and had no issues
Which trim pin do you use on your motor? I've got a 8hp Yamaha on my HS but kicks a little rooster tail at WOT. Curious if I should adjust my trim pin settings.
Looked for the sunglasses on RCI website. Doesn't show an "amber lens " for the Spanish House H780. Do you have a model number for the ones you use ? Thanks
@@justin_menendez got ya. I have a 15’4 highsider set up very similarly to yours, I just put the yeti 35 on and fished it today with it for the first time and it seemed more unstable where it’s normally stable. But I had a pretty gnarly headache today and my balance could have been off a bit today.
Leave any questions below!! What would you do differently with a Gheenoe build??
I’d drill holes into the bottom just in case any water flys over the bow
I wanna see how you did your tiller extension. I just purchased my gheenoe!
The only thing I’d do differently is park it in my yard instead of yours!!!!
A stainless prop. I gained 5 miles an hour in my Jon boat when I changed the pitch and diameter. And my hole shot was faster. More midrange power to.

I'm 6'3 and about 200lbs and I think this boat is incredibly stable, love mine!

You should make a video on how you handle rough chop or boat wake
Running that gas out every trip is one of the best things you can do. Great advice!
U motivated me to get one! Been watching since the first review 2-3 years ago! where did you get the bilge pump? Seems like a good investment.
That's a really sick rig you got
Thanks for watching!
Man I remember the video of when you first got the gheenoe. Pretty rad you still fish it! Them boats are sick 🤙🏻
Justin with the backplate I’d maybe try out a prop that’s one pitch up and go to stainless for some better performance
Oh man, it's Monday and we got a new vid from Jm! Send it buddy, fish on! 🎣🤙
I miss my 'noe more and more every day. Gonna make the wife watch this so she can let me get another one :)
I’ve been curious about this boat. Thanks man!
If you plan on staying with a ghennoe. Should invest into a lt25
I’m getting a new boat soon.
I use a Grumman 19’ with a lift and 9.9 HP Merc with Rock Hopper prop guard for moose hunting in Alaska.
I’ve been looking forward to this set up overview of your Gheenoe.

I've owned the highsider and then a classic. The classic is well worth the extra money.
The only thing I'd change is I'd hook it up to the back of my truck instead of yours

I follow you on TikTok lol I seen the video you made on 3/9/21 talking about this
Your amazing. Inspired big time.
Sickest setup in the game
Great video bro. You seem to enjoy that 15'4.
I gotta 6 gallon gas tank and the cooler in the back weights me down to much so gotta put it up front
I have a feeling that’s why he has the jack plate. I have the same issue with mine.
Thanks for showing us your boat. I’m thinking I just might trade my 14’ Jon boat for the same one you have.
What size and model number is your Jackplate? When you go to the website the one that is for those motors is black in color?
Do you have a boat bag/ tackle bag you recommend? I just got a 15'4 highsider about a month ago, and my biggest issue is keeping everything organized.
No not really. I typically carry very little tackle. One box of lures and one small box with all my circle hooks and j hooks.

If you have the DT25 (3cylinder) engine, keep it. Those things make stupid power.
You could likely get > 40" with a ruler going diagonal across the deck.
Great video sharing your tools! Like your customizations!
Just as an add I am sure you run the motor out of gas while it's still in the water right? Otherwise your impeller won't last long...lol
While it has earmuffs on.
@@justin_menendez ah....got it! Thanks
Thanks for the info.
What happened with the osprey reel? Any thoughts on that setup?
Looking Sick!!

Vanford bros!! ✊✊
I'm 5'8 230 and hunted gators from a 13' gheenoe for years.
Hey i noticed onthefly jacks has different set back lengths. By any chance do you remember yours
You got a lot of beasts
I’ve had a 15.4 and classic, the classic is way more stable and better suited for the fishing you do, 15.4 is only better if you’re paddling, dragging, or very limited budget.

The tiller is best for this boat I believe. You can make movements quick without having to fumble with a remote.
I'm looking at these and the solo skiff, but more so leaning towards the gheenoe. How well does it tow behind the frontier?
Where on the east coast of Florida are you? Here in brevard loving the videos!
I think Justin is in the Jensen Beach/ Start area.
Group 24 Series Marine
Dope boat
Thanks Kathy❤️❤️
Have you had any issues with the tail of the Gheenoe not supported by the trailer bunks ?
Did you have to get them to build the ruler custom because of the length?
What battery do you run? i’m going to buy one and yours seems to last well for a trolling motor
Great info. I'm your same height but a little heavier with bad balance since I broke my ankle. I've been wondering for a while if I would have sufficient balance on a high sider or if I would need to get a classic. What's your opinion? I've been in a classic and had no issues

How much is the highsider brand new?
🔥edit bro
So where did you buy it from?
GPS/Depthfinder? What do you use?
I use google maps for maps.
Very interesting presentation, thank you. What are the dimensions of your gheenoe? I know it's 15:4 from your presentation!
15’4” and I think it’s maybe 40” wide at the widest point.
@@justin_menendez Thanks, I want one
I miss my high sider.
how would this hold up in the salt water in texas?
Not a fan of the NMZ. I owed 3 gheenoe's and the LT25 is where it's at.
Looked for the sunglasses on RCI website. Doesn't show an "amber lens " for the Spanish House H780. Do you have a model number for the ones you use ? Thanks
These are them.

2:50 What size shaft length on that trolling motor?
Long story short (haha jk)....great video and glad to finally see your rig! Looks awesome!
What is inside the stake holder?
Pool noodle to prevent the stake from rubbing.
Rod and reel Arsenal
Hey man. Do you feel that you loose some stability in your Gheenoe with the cooler on it vs the cooler off?
I’ve never fished without the cooler so I’m not sure.
@@justin_menendez got ya. I have a 15’4 highsider set up very similarly to yours, I just put the yeti 35 on and fished it today with it for the first time and it seemed more unstable where it’s normally stable. But I had a pretty gnarly headache today and my balance could have been off a bit today.
whats the specs on the prop?
How much did it cost to build the gheenoe how you have it now?
I’d value my Gheenoe around $4000-$5000. I’ve had companies help me out with things so I haven’t spent that much.
Where did you get the tiller extension?
It’s homemade
@@justin_menendez PVC?
Yes
Guuuhnewww***
Nah bruh it’s geeeeenew
Where did you get that hat??
My website jmfishco.com but unfortunately they are out of stock.
@@justin_menendez awesome thanks brother. I’ll keep on the look out for whenever they’re back in
Do you fish west or east coast
He’s on the east
@@wyattseckel1392 ok thanks
You should go off shore on the Gheenoe
Sketchy
Yeeeeessss
Bigger motor prob 25 horse
Wrap it with your logo.
FIRST I THINK
Ur 3rd
Build? Those are all add ons imo
