- Today was a great day because we finally picked up the Engine for my Gheenoe. Decided to go with a 15hp Suzuki because of the light weight and fuel Injection. This Engine is the perfect engine for my gheenoe.
Little tip. Think about the trailer too. I use to stop at a body of fresh water on my way home. I would back the boat in and fire it up while still strapped to the trailer. Engage the prop in reverse, and rinse the engine and trailer at the same time.
Smokeydabee Charles Coleman Thanks for the tip! Yeah I've known some people like to dip their boat in fresh water after taking the boat out. I usually hose the boat and the trailer off very good afterwards though. Lol
Kill switch my brother😀 think safety! Perfect motor size for the Lt 10! She will fly!!!
Before I even fire my tiller up I throw my kill switch on my belt loop. Sound advice!
@@mjfollmer8506 if it is attached to you, it will cut the engine if you go overboard, as a experienced safetyboat driver at a major yacht club in south wales, It winds me up seeing videos of people not wearing their kill cord.
I have to tell you guys... Been following you for a bit now, and enjoying your vids. I've been a Gheenoe fan for some time, and recently got a 2010 LT25. A couple of weeks later I got a Gheenoe 13. Just today I got off of offer up (that's a lotta f's) a 2016 Suzuki 9.9 for the 13. I live on the Bel Aire canal (C-1). The peacocks here are MONSTERS. Any time you want to go fishing down south in Cutler Bay, hit me up.
How fast would it run with the 15??
Nice video I just bought a older low hour 15 to go on my 16ft Scott duck boat only weighs 200lbs should go pretty good
Awesome Awesome combination I like it congrats
Thanks!
Hey man I am about to purchase one of these bad boys, was your fuel tank in the rear, and how did you run the fuel hose? is there an opening in back? Any issues rubbing with the motor with no jackplate?
Matt Kursman Congrats on your soon to be purchase. I loved my Gheenoe but upgraded to a 17 foot center console. Honestly I kind of want to go back to something small and simple again. To answer your questions. My fuel tank was in the rear a 3 gallon would last all day and night. There is a small hole in the rear corner of the deck to run your fuel hose or wires through. Yeah when I was in skinny I would just pick my motor up and pole along with my make shift push pole.
Weekend Pirate just put my deposit down on an LT10. Sid you think the 15hp motor was a bit much for the Gheenoe or did you have any problems with it?
Matt Kursman I Thought the 15 was a perfect combo I probably would have went with a 20hp if it was available. I had zero issues with the engine or anything else
Weekend Pirate can’t fricken wait. Found a 15hp brand new for $2300. Gonna pick up the Gheenoe in about two months.
Hey man you had the suzuki 15" short shaft on there correct?
Congratulations on the new motor. Are you going to get an extended handle for it ?
Big_A Yes I am. The plan is to get a tiller extension next time we stop at Bass Pro. That's why I got the grab bar. Lol
Thanks for the video. I am looking to buy a 15 hp Suzuki. I see you have an electric motor for trolling. What is the 15 hp like for trolling? Did you try it?
Mary O'Connor it's great for trolling. At idle speed its perfect for trolling small crank baits and spoons through all the canals around south Florida
Thank you for the prompt reply
they didn’t give you any issues on putting a higher than recommended HP outboard on the gheenoe?
Leonard Del Campo I just bought the engine from them. They didn’t put it on my Gheenoe. I mounted and installed the engine. When I got home. It was put on the transom just so I could transport it home.
Weekend Pirate FWC never gave you any heat? I have my LT10 sitting at home and have a 15 tohatsu on the way, the propeller you used was it Suzuki specific?
Leonard Del Campo The FWC never stopped or bothered me. I forgot the exact prop I bought. Here a video of when I bought it and installed it czcams.com/video/JnbVwxfPGiE/video.html
Dont go over the max HP for the CE plate, the maximum is there for a reason.
What a great Combo. Thanks for the videos. I don’t find much review on the LT10. If your ever up near Panama City. I have a rod and reel combos out the ying yang. I’ll give you one to replace the one you were fishing with. Lol.
Man i remember I saved up for years to get same motor for my little boys dreamcome true greenoe for only for someone to steal from us less then a week broke my kids heart so now im trying to sell everything i own to make their dreams come true again sux
How are you still liking it. I debating between this and a Yamaha that is a couple hundred dollars more
waveali P We just sold the boat and engine to upgrade to something a little bigger. Had the engine for about 6 months. It never gave me problems. Always started first pull. Smooth, quiet, and fast. We loved it. We always flushed it after every use and did the first 20 hour oil change at 20hours. I think no matter the brand if you take care of it you will be happy
I would go for suzuki as suzuki + tohatsu's are EFI engines and yamaha are carb engines, hope this helps
I just wish the exhaust came out of the hood so you can troll with it and take the sound out of the water you know what i mean? Fish hear the motor
How much was the motor
This was four years ago when boat and engine prices were much cheaper. At the time I think this engine was 2100 brand new. Now, due to inflation I’m assuming it’s probably 3k
Where did you buy the motor ?
Danny Martinez Dusky Marine
@@WeekendPirate I’m actually thinking of going there tomorrow to pick up a new Suzuki 15hp for my Lowe 1240 I bought from them 3 months ago. Would you do it again?
@@patrickfearon7942 I have since sold this boat and the motor but I thought this Suzuki was great especially with the direct injection. I would definitely choose Suzuki again.
Do you miss it?
jvoclain love that thing. I will have another Gheenoe sitting in the side of my house again one day. Lol
Dude let your girl fish
