- Hey everyone, as many of you that follow me on Instagram already know we have since sold our Custom Gheenoe LT10 after having it for a little over a year now. We've been doing some modifications to it since then such as the yamaha F25 motor, Bobs Machine Shop Tilt and Trim unit, Simrad Go9, Carbon Marine tiller pillar, and many other small modifications. We are ready to hit the water and get into some fishing once it warms up, lots of adventures to come on the new sled. Thanks for watching and as always have a great weekend! =)

Congratulations looks real real nice . Refreshing to hear you use it for your style and keep it in its environment back country shallow water boat . All to many times people misuse it then bashes the boat on internet / you tube . Sad since these are very nice boats that won't break the bank . Let's plan to take them soon .🤜 Congratulations
Again
Thank you! Yeah I’ve seen one video where a guy sank his 13’ gheenoe trying to pull a huge barrel of water into it, some jokes just write themselves 😂
These boats are excellent for what they’re meant for and very well crafted! As soon as we get some decent weather I’m down! 😅
Very nice! Look forward to seeing some big fish in that beautiful new Gheenoe! 😉👍❤🎣
You and me both! Thanks for watching Randy!
@@SALTxTHExWOUND 😎👊
Glad you uploaded! Loving the variety content.
Glad you enjoy it! Appreciate you tuning in!
Looks great. I've been wanting one for years. The money's rolling in now and I'm going by their factory to order one soon.
Thank you! I visited their shop a little over a year ago and it was awesome!
@@SALTxTHExWOUND I got some quotes, the woman was super nice and no annoying sales tactics or even trying to upsell. Just straight forward and helpful. Definately a company worthy of my money so I'm buying one.
Well deserved Chris
Congrats bro
Thank you brother!
Thanks for share! Can you possibly share how the electrical box on the grab handle is mounted. Also show a visual on how they have the wires coming through the floor..
Sure, If you shoot me a message on Instagram I'd be happy to show you
this will be great for weeki wachee river or even crystal river I live in spring hill
We’ve taken it there a few times
could you add links to the telescopic push pole and battery monitor you showed in the video?
The telescopic push pole is from bass pro shops, it's a superstick. And the battery monitor is just a basic one from amazon, seems to work good for $10
Nice rig, I’ve owned a 15.4 and a classic now, thinking about doing a build like yours, only thing on your boat I’d like is a seat pedestal in the back so you could have a seat while you drive with a back rest, I never see one on lt25 builds, is it not possible with the configuration you have?
I’ve seen them with seats, usually they call that a raptor platform, I personally put my cooler on the rear deck and it serves as a seat and then the platform becomes my backrest
Hey man, loving the gheenoe content. I am in the market for a skiff and considering a gheenoe. I’m out of the Tampa/St Pete area. How’s your experience been with the rig in chop? Wet ride?
Hey man, I’m local to the area as well! The rig does great in protected waters, it’ll handle a little chop, you just gotta slow it down a bit. I love this boat
Have you broken in the engine and got a Top Speed number yet? I’m looking at the same motor for my setup as well as a Suzuki. I’m curious to know what you’re hitting.
Yes! I have about 30 hours on the motor now, with the stock prop (9 7/8" x 11 1/4") I was getting 28 solo and 27 with a passenger. I just switched to a Powertech SRA3 10X10p prop and it runs way better. I get 30.5 solo and 29 with a passenger. I can trim the motor up much more with the stainless SRA3 and get my RPM's up to 6,100 if needed and let her rip. 25 HP is the perfect size for the LT25 imo
Do you think you used the one the fly jack plate or the tilt and trim more cause I don’t know what to get for my lt 10
OTF was nice but tilt and trim is much more useful imo. I found that I only jacked my motor up to set it at the perfect height, once it was there I left it. But I fish skinny water a lot and had to pull the motor up by hand several times out on the water. The trim unit allows me to set it wherever I need with just the push of a button.
How did you decide on the tiller? Did you think about a stick steer at all? Do you know the pros and cons of the stick steer on the LT25 in the back?
Most people do stick steer from the center or front on the LT25 from what I’ve seen. In my opinion it’s just one more thing to go wrong, tiller is about as reliable as you can get and less maintenance
@@SALTxTHExWOUND Less maintenance is always a good thing. Your setup is starting to grow on me. What size cooler do you sit on in the back? How much is your boat built new? Around $22,200?
Gorgeous
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey man. Your setup it, mine if i ask thr price. Looks awesome ❤
Hey man, shoot me a message on Instagram and I’ll hook you up 👍🏻
@@SALTxTHExWOUND What is your Ig
When is too windy to fish with the Gheenoe? Is it 7 mph, !0 mph, 15 mph, or 20 mph? Please advise. Thank you.
Honestly the BEST is between 6-8mph, still got a breeze but water is super calm. 10-12mph isn’t bad, I won’t go out if it’s over 15, you can do it but it’s a wet rode
@@SALTxTHExWOUND Thank you. I have an LT-25 and wanted to gauge from the Gheenoe community what mph was safe. I mostly fish central Florida St. John’s River and New Smyrna Beach creeks. Thank you.
how long was your wait time from order to delivery?
About 10-12 weeks I believe
Hey brother what’s the top speed with the motor? Thanks
The Yamaha 25hp pushes the boat 30.5mph solo, 28mph 2 up and 27mph with 3 adults.
❤congratulations
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much
Sweet rig, what was the wait time from order to delivery?
Thanks! I ordered through a local dealer and it took about 8-9 weeks
@@SALTxTHExWOUND I just put in a Factory Direct order and theyre thinking 16-18 weeks. Still not too bad compared to the 10-12 months some guys were waiting a couple years ago.
@@SoFloBuildswell damn. I'm about to order one. Might just get the super 16 they have a deal on
Is that a short shaft or long shaft outboard?
Short shaft
whats the total weight of the rig, could a small suv pull/tow?
Absolutely, I know guys who pull these with an ecoboost mustang. Total weight with the trailer is approximately 7-800 lbs
When I had my LT25 (similar weight set up to this one) I towed it all over Florida with a 2.4L Accord Coupe!
Good morning, putting a Yamaha was that an upgrade or was it the same price?
I installed the Yamaha myself. I bought only the hull and trailer from custom gheenoe
@@SALTxTHExWOUND so you did all the wiring yourself? Battery in the front and you ran all the wiring to the back? Very impressive! Are you an electrician?
That's fuckin sick yall!
Hey thanks man! We’re loving it, just waiting for some Better weather 😅
What's the price on that boat
I paid just over $10k for the hull and trailer in the configuration I ordered. You can order them cheaper with less add ons, or more expensive obviously the more you add to it. I believe the basic hull starts just over $3k without a trailer
