This is over on Mike Anderson’s “Trophy Fishing TN” board. Looks like David is about ready to finish it up. Very well done and very tasteful paint job too.
This is an order of magnitude better build than what I did. I assume David is a fiberglass pro.

Zach,
I had often thought about posting the Gheenoe project over here but never got around to it.
It’s actually my first fiberglass project, lots of research and a will to try it. It’s been a fun project but taken way to long due to not having an enclosed garage (cold or to hot temps for fiberglass) and lots of overtime at my real job the last two years 815 in 2012 and 640 in 2013 and I didn’t volunteer for any of it 🙂
Plan on finishing up this boat in the next few weeks, heading over on Feb 1st to Streamer Fest for 4 days of banging the White River’s bank with BIG streamers and then I plan on putting all my spare time on the Gheenoe.
That is a cool paint job David.
What motor are you putting on it ?

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
I live on the banks of the Elk River (I call it a big creek) a TVA tailwater in southern middle Tennessee. Lots of shallow shoals, starting out with a Minn Kota 55 trolling motor, may get a motor in time.
This is my motor boat
Supreme L48 that I had Rob the owner build to my specs, 54″ front deck, 48″ rear deck. It’s a skinny water rig, as Mike Anderson says they will run on wet gravel.
Cool boat David.
Makes me wish we had some running water in this part of Australia…www.dsaphoto.com
