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.

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. 👍

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

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’ve been curious about this boat. Thanks man!

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.

I’ve been looking forward to this set up overview of your Gheenoe.

Running that gas out every trip is one of the best things you can do. Great advice!

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. 👍

Looking Sick!!

Man I remember the video of when you first got the gheenoe. Pretty rad you still fish it! Them boats are sick 🤙🏻

Your amazing. Inspired big time.

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.

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.

Thanks for the info.

Oh man, it's Monday and we got a new vid from Jm! Send it buddy, fish on! 🎣🤙

Sickest setup in the game

You should make a video on how you handle rough chop or boat wake

I miss my 'noe more and more every day. Gonna make the wife watch this so she can let me get another one :)

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.

I'm looking at these and the solo skiff, but more so leaning towards the gheenoe. How well does it tow behind the frontier?

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.

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?

Great video bro. You seem to enjoy that 15'4.

What happened with the osprey reel? Any thoughts on that setup?

Justin with the backplate I’d maybe try out a prop that’s one pitch up and go to stainless for some better performance

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?

What battery do you run? i’m going to buy one and yours seems to last well for a trolling motor

Have you had any issues with the tail of the Gheenoe not supported by the trailer bunks ?

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.

The tiller is best for this boat I believe. You can make movements quick without having to fumble with a remote.

I use a Grumman 19’ with a lift and 9.9 HP Merc with Rock Hopper prop guard for moose hunting in Alaska.

Did you have to get them to build the ruler custom because of the length?

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.

@justin_menendez

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.

I've owned the highsider and then a classic. The classic is well worth the extra money.

Hey i noticed onthefly jacks has different set back lengths. By any chance do you remember yours

I follow you on TikTok lol I seen the video you made on 3/9/21 talking about this

The only thing I'd change is I'd hook it up to the back of my truck instead of yours

Thanks for showing us your boat. I’m thinking I just might trade my 14’ Jon boat for the same one you have.

whats the specs on the prop?

So where did you buy it from?

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

@@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.

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.

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.
