cool boat -- i bet that is a great boat if towee has the same characteristics as a gheenoe.

mine was a plain jane, old fiberglass model that was 15 foot long...and it was heavy after a day of fishing.  i could always load it easily enough but it was a bear to put up after we were finished.

Nice boat Mr. Sweetwater. What are all those marks on top of the motor from?

   Nice Chris,

Looks great. Guess you are thinking flooded timber again this year or are you going to be one of your a river of four buddies?

I just had a gap in my portfolio.  I needed something for shallow, flooded, weedy, marshes. I've always leaned too heavily on my 4R buddies for this type of hunting.  Besides, that's not the only marsh around.  I really enjoyed my solo ventures last year.  A renaissance movement of less is more, if you will.    I've had the idea of re-purposing a used gheenoe as a layout boat for awhile and when I came across one on CL labled "Canoe boat 80$" I jumped on it.  On a related note, I might have had a true stroke of genius when I designed the blind.  I'll let you know after a season of use if it's the real deal or not.

Besides, the wife says I'm irresistible when I drag home another boat to throw in the yard.

  Don't wait until after the season for reports between us. Lets do a shot by shot report instead of a play by play this season. I never did get the predator engine and tail for it, my bad . Have you let the new little one out of your grasp yet?

We'll do Marty.  You need one of these little motors.  I have had more fun with my little boat and mud motor this summer than I have with the Bay Boat.  Brings out the kid in me and puts a big smile on my face just to drive it.  Plus, I can go to the river or creek and I don't need a shuttle.  

The little one is such a sweet baby.  She obviously takes after her Daddy.  Her big sis and Mom are as mean as a couple snakes though. 

 

Sorry Daryk Campbell Sr.  Didn't mean to hijack your thread!!

BW,  I have been here long enough to expect it.  Maybe have done it once or twice myself.  $80? That's cheap!   I gave $500 for mine 13 footer  with a 7hp motor.  Both with titles.   I think I did well.  It is quite heavy in and out of my Dakota.   Guess I am not as much of a Manas others. Lol.

Are you sure it wasn't a Towee? A Gheenoe doesn't handle a jet. You described my Towee to a tee.

Yep, my mistake, sweet boat.
