LOL, yep these boats take a little getting used to, for poling because of how little they weigh. That Highsider with the motor and rigging probably weighs under 220 pounds. I guess that's the reason it paddles so well. It's as fast as my T-160 and a hell of a lot more stable when using it as a paddle boat.
As far as trading it for reels go, that probably won't happen. I've got at least 38-39 vintage fly reels and damn near that many rods. And that's not counting the modern reels and Graphite rods I've got put away in the shop. You might say that I'm tackle poor! (LOL)
Everybody else
I'll put a price on the boat and move it to the Classifieds as soon as I find out if the deal on new one I'm thinking about buying is going to go through.
To be continued!

Boat-tease

It ain't no Gheenoe, but it's got an outboard jet...

NOT a Gheenoe

One way tickets to Florida might be the way to go. Plus you can meet up with this guy while your there.

Now THERE is an adventure. Fly out there, negotiate the price of the trailer out of the deal, and have the seller drive you to the nearest river that runs into the Gulf of Mexico. You're then set up to fish your way back to Texas along the shore of the Gulf. An easy right turn on the Trinity, Brazos, or Colorado and you're home. There is a book and a video in that trip at the very least. If anyone does this trip, I'll be happy with 15% of the book and DVD gross.

Bonus: the boat is in Hobe Sound, FL, which is on the eastern side of the state, just east of Lake Okeechobee. Therefore, you could either find a way to cross peninsualar Florida and possibly the big lake, or just trace your way down through the keys and back up the western coast. How many different species could you catch on that one trip?

I was thinking just rent a truck to drive it back, but your idea is good too.

I'll be happy to take this trip, once the advance check has cleared.

This "fish your way home" deal is now stuck in my head. I had to make a new topic for it so we didn't mess up the Gheenoe Craving Thread with our delusions.

Hey Guys
OK, guys, I�ve decided to sell my Gheenoe Highsider to make room for the new LT.
Here�s the package;
1997 Olive Green Gheenoe Highsider with off-white interior. Boat is in very good shape.
1988 15 HP Johnson manual start outboard. Just had the carburetor rebuilt and motor checked out. Water pump impeller and gear lube replaced about a year ago.
Manual Jack-plate
Factory Grab Bar
Factory Bow mount Trolling motor bracket
Tiny-Tach mounted on grab bar dash
4 rod holders
Push pole holders
Excellent trailer
This little boat runs like a scalded Dog, burns very little fuel, and paddles as well as my Kayaks.
I�m looking to get $2650.00 for the package. If you�re interested shoot me an e-mail
evanslmtd@windstream.com or send me a PM.

Holy Smokes!

Not mine, but I am looking at something like these LT 25's:
