Since I fish nearly every day in TN., I decided that the NMZ was the wrong boat for the wrong place. He was even more uncomfortable with a narrow boat than me, so going fishing weekly with an unstable pair of fishermen in a skinny boat didn't make any sense. No flats, and my brother-in-law wanted to fish with me a lot. 60-foot deep rock filled lakes were our main playground. However, just about that time, we bought a summer place in TN. I pretty much resolved my balance issues, and she ran shallow and well. But, I was worried about me falling out of one. Had I pulled out the stick steering, I might still have that boat today, as my balance finally started adjusting to the skinny hull.Īll Gheenoe hulls are an unusual setup. I had a 15-foot boat with usable space of about four feet. The trolling motor was up there, and the steering for the boat was up there. The steering arrangement made me stay in the bow of boat. It also had stick steering, which I hated. I am a big guy, and not as flexible as I used to be. Every time I was in it, I felt like I might fall out. ) was perfectly was not perfectly stable. Now, why did I sell the one(s) that I had. A 13 foot Gheenoe would be great in the marsh, but wouldn't handle too many crew. I don't know how well they'd do deep in the marsh. Both are, I believe, 15'4.Īs mentioned above, the LT 25, and/or the Gheenoe 16 are considered the "big" boats and appear to be great for Texas flats.
