You’ve managed to change a plain ole Gheenoe into a work of art. Outstanding craftsmanship as well as thoughtfulness.

I have the same boat, but I put a 15hp 2 stroke yamaha on it. It's rated for 10hp but the 15 is MONEY!!! the 2 stroke 15 hp is about the same weight of a 10hp 4 stroke. PS: great video and mods. I don't have the know how or skill to mod my gheenoe like you. Fabulous job.

Transferred a load just watching this

BEST GHEENOE EVER! That would be perfect for here in the Florida Everglades too!

Most Cajun accent I’ve heard in years. Thanks for the video.

One of the best Gheenoe mod videos with many useful ideas.

One of the finest adventure boats I’ve ever seen.

A year later, still one of the best jobs ever! Hats off.

The foot rest helps the front passenger relax but what is really relaxing is seeing the you have plenty of extra shells for your shotgun handy. Great details!

Congratulations on success of all the nice upgrades. I’m seeing quite a bit of aviation sheet metal influence here- camlocs, nice countersunk rivet & screw work, general attention to detail. Great job, sir!

See now this here is exactly what I want in a small boat. Perfect.

Awesome video! I'm going to look at a Gheenoe similar to yours. The upgrades and modifications you've done have given me lots of ideas. Thanks

Damn. This is by far the worlds greatest Gheenoe

OUTSTANDING build! Makes me want to go buy a Gheenoe! Which I've been thinking about for a long time

That might be the nicest little pirogue I've ever seen. :) I might have to ditch the kayak for one of these. Great video.

This is one of the coolest builds I have seen. Very high quality.

I just got an old river hawk and was looking to see how other people had these types of boats setup. I appreciate you explaining everything that you did in this video.

Lafayette native here. Great shots of the Vermilion River. Best Gheenoe modifications I’ve ever seen. Well done

Outstanding design and installation.

I really like the stern work you did. Covering the top at the rub rail is a great way to deflect any water that might want to ruin your day, from a runaway wave cracking over the stern. I'm going to try that but take it up to the bench with a hinge across the mid point and a lip to deflect any water that makes it that far. And the drawer, of course. Awesome job on your 15.4!

Epic boat build man. The attention to detail is great. You got some really innovative features really set up for your environment perfectly.I love that you've got three pistols and obviously a shotgun on board haha. Just another day in south Louisiana. I will probably be using some of your ideas on my next build.like the cup holders the reinforcements everywhere the extra rivets and the use of that small space in the front for the battery. Thanks a lot

Some great ideas. Gheen Manufacturing should come out with a version like you made. The Rambo Gheenoe. Im' in the process of redoing mine. Thanks for sharing.

Great job Shannon! Well planned. I'm from Lafayette (all my family still lives there) and I moved to Florida 12 years ago and was introduced to Gheenoes. So many folks use them here. They even put poling platforms on some of the ones who fish the shallow flats. You can look through my videos and check out a tunnel hull Jon boat I made with road signs! Cajun ingenuity at it's finest! Lol

Great build. I had the same boat but I put a Yamaha 20hp on it. I could do 25 mph in it. I found it a bit tipsy with that motor, battery, and a 6 gallon tank all in the rear of the boat. I sold it and got a Santee 16 foot boat. It is perfect with that motor because the transom is a lot wider. I can get it up to around 28 mph with one person. I use it more than I use my Ranger!! It is the perfect set up for around Lafayette.
