There were a lot of people who thought Harley Gheen was going overboard when he started building his Gheenoe. The fact of the matter is, that is the reason Harley Gheen did it. As a trout fisherman on the little Tennessee River outside of his native Knoxville. Mr. Gheen had to be dunked only three times before he decided he could build something better than a tippy canoe.

A designer by trade, and now senior designer with Bendix Launch Support Systems at the Kennedy Space Center. It wasn't until 1967 that Mr. Gheen got serious about his Gheenoe. He sat down, carved out a 1/8 scale model and used the family bathtub as a testing facility. Four years, and as many modified designed later, Mr. Gheen was satisfied his boat was perfect.

At first glance, you would think that he tried to cross a bass boat with a square stern canoe. The canoe look above the waterline, and the suggestion of a bass boat below. The bottom suggests a hull with an accent of flatness but it is the unusual design that grabs your imagination.

The Gheenoe's similarity with the canoe also stops when you step in for no other reason than the boat doesn't go sliding out from under your feet like a bar of soap or tip under the weight of three (3) 200 lb. men leaning over the side. It is the incorporation of the out-rigger theory that provides the suprising stability.

The Gheenoe can be paddled in three inch depths and with a short shaft outboard motor can plane in three and a half inches.

Aluminum Trolling Motor Bracket for the Gheenoe available. Quantity pricing available to dealers. We ship through UPS.
