    The truth is that you do it very well! I would like to do the same but I'm already old. That adventure is very good and keeps you busy from day to day, and in the city you can't live in peace. I wish you all the good and that you continue making videos because they entertain me a lot, thank you

    Anyone that says that’s not one of the sickest custom build’s ever doesn’t understand or have the knowledge of why you did what you did, I know why and it’s by far one of the coolest bow rider’s I’ve ever seen, truly happy for ya man.

    • @KeyWestWaterman

    Awesome build . My old roommate bought one years ago maybe 40 yrs ago. He bought from a guy in Florida. We live in Tennessee an I took it out by myself with his dog an had a small stressed crack from the waves in Florida but never had any problems out of the boat . I could jump in with the dog an pull myself in no problem without flipping. I believe it had a old 25 horse motor . To fast for a canoe but loved fishing with it. He still has it . We are both 61 yrs young. Respect man .

    Looks awesome. Excited to see more small boat videos with this thing. Glad to know I'm not alone in finding imperfect vehicles less stressful.

  • @AStanton1976
    @AStanton1976 Před rokem +21

    Awesome boat! The only improvement I would recommend is a small grab bar on either side of the console. When steering from a standing position in the front of a boat with no rest, you want something to grab that isn't part of the controls, because you will grab something if you lose balance or have to lean over for something. Don't want it to be a steering wheel or throttle!
    Love the channel! Been watching since you had about 30K subscribers or less.

    • @KeyWestWaterman

    Congrats Aaron! I’m happy for you and I do agree with the sentimental touch on the boat.

  • @michaelmorgan3415
    @michaelmorgan3415 Před rokem +5

    Hey Aaron, congrats on the new boat. When I first looked at it I thought the helm station forward was odd but it made sense when you explained how the boat is going to be used and where you will be running. Great visibility and the weight distribution probably negates any bow rise getting up on plane. It's nice that you have the connect at Gheenoe to make your vision a reality. Enjoy!

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem

      really appreciate it! def gonna be perfect for what we do

  • @juliafiore120
    @juliafiore120 Před rokem +6

    Huge congratulations, Aaron! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻What a gorgeous color!😍 When you first took off, you looked so strange standing but then the side view makes it look really spacious. Hopefully, you like standing better than sitting 😜 Looks super fun; wish you the best and can’t wait to tag along! Have a Blessed Night 😊

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem +2

      haha right! love how it came out, thanks so much! can't wait for all the adventures!!

  • @randyruney5704
    @randyruney5704 Před rokem +3

    I love. Hard to get used to your forward console but I really like it better than your other one. There’s a reason mullet & bully net boats have been setup like that for years. Plus you’re up higher for greater visibility. Can’t wait for y’all’s future videos.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem +1

      already found a ton of coral heads and rock piles I've been driving right past! def is a game changer for me down here.

    @Will-ol9lp Před rokem +1

    @lewislambert2363 Před rokem +2

    @chadjelliston5652 Před rokem +3

    Wow!! Too cool man. Could imagine myself on the front driving it. It looks like a enjoyable experience. Beautiful boat. Nice color. Too cool man!

  • @MareEgretsMoose
    @MareEgretsMoose Před rokem +3

    Love the gelcoat bump and totally relate to the sentimentality aspect. The Super 18 is righteous! The planning for camping was brilliant and really like the compact steering wheel. Beautiful mind, my friend. I would miss the stick-steer, but that 90 will rodk. Can't wait for the build video. Go get some lobsters soon!

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem

      change is good they say, will def miss the old boat but looking forward to it all in this one! thanks so much

  • @joshmartin3222
    @joshmartin3222 Před rokem +6

    Man those guys at Blue Point do such great work. Glad they got a shout out. I wonder how driving from the front will be if there's anything more than a moderate chop. Seems like it'd be real easy to catch air.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem +4

      they really do! and hopefully wont be running in chop, will wreak havoc on my back. shes made for the calm days! haha

    @user-jv1qm8bs8y Před 11 měsíci +1

    Appreciate this in depth video of the Super 18. When you posted this a while back ago I was in the market for small boat that I could easily transport from Kansas City to the Keys and a few spots I like to fish on the Alabama coast. Long story short, this video heavily influenced me to purchase a Super 18 from the factory! I'm making the drive down to Titusville to pick it up in a few weeks and cannot wait to try it out. We love your videos, keep up the good work! Rick

    • @KeyWestWaterman

    @stevenfischer5392 Před rokem +1

    Sweeet boat!! You guys did a killer job on it. I love how everything is removable, makes it more universal. Im a fan of the oval bait wells myself with the cup holders,and cutting board built in. Cant wait for some more videos! I would love to see some exploring coral head videos with a side scan demo with that simrad! Be safe and have fun,we love all 3 of you!

    • @KeyWestWaterman

  • @johnnyvee9486
    @johnnyvee9486 Před rokem +1

    New boat is super cool. I really like the idea of keeping the center "open" and being able to sleep two there, great idea! Color was a great choice! Even like the gel coat smudge story, I would've left it also. Look forward to new Gheenoe adventures!

    Congratulations on the new boat!! Your living true dream of mine, I also built boats in Central Fla for many years. One trip down to the Keys and I was hooked! I wanted to move down there so bad,just couldn't talk the wife into it. She does love to fish as well,mabe now since we are both retired. Love the color,love the layout, love the motor. Bet you won't get much sleep for the next month until the newness wears off. Again congratulations!!!!!

  • @rodneyalaking8241
    @rodneyalaking8241 Před rokem +2

    Great thing about the bow helm station is better vision of shallow water obstructions. Also, less chance of porpoising when running in a chop since no trim tabs. I really like what you came up with. Bless your vessel and all who sail in her!

  • @MareEgretsMoose
    @MareEgretsMoose Před rokem +2

    Crushed it! The bow set up reminds me of the mullet boys running stumpknocker and Carolina Skiffs back in the 90s. Stoked for you.

  • @joncarter3817
    @joncarter3817 Před 7 měsíci

    Thanks - very informative. Very impressed with the boat. I was concerned she would be bow heavy with you standing up there and figured that was why you went with the bigger motor. I have watched other videos and she doesn't appear bow heavy at all so "nice job". I'm completely restoring a pacific dory and your plan for a removable live well really gave me an "ah ha" moment so that was cool. She is so well suited to your life style - VERY well done.

    @kinlinkollective Před rokem +1

    To be honest when I first saw the setup I was thrown off by the whole thing but after you explained it and I understood/remembered your lifestyle it all made sense....it's a well spec'd boat. I have been saving to do my own gheenoe build now for awhile since I stumbled upon your videos. The company as a whole does great work and the customization is just unmatched. Love the new rig and look forward to camping videos! cheers brotha

  • @mikehixson3246
    @mikehixson3246 Před rokem +2

    Sweet new boat! The design speaks to your needs and experience. If Gheenoe produced that boat I don't think there would be many takers because it is so different. At speed with any large wake or wave action makes me a little leary! Cool part is getting to watch you experience all the new things in your design. Kudos on having a vision and making it a reality. Your honest, real and definitely comfortable in your own skin. Keep pushing the limits and experiences. One of my favorite channels to follow.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem

      I believe that! very unique, and specific for what we do. really appreciate the kind words! 🙏

    • @danielgriffis9759
      @danielgriffis9759 Před rokem

      OK now, Aaron, if you are going to be steering from the bow, us older folk are going to get after you if you don't wear that safety lanyard every time you are at speed. ( from my couch, it looks a lil dangerous. 😅)
      Congratulations on the new vessel.

  • @garybaxter7297
    @garybaxter7297 Před rokem +2

    I find it very interesting how different waterways have different types of boat for their locations. Like in the Cajun swamps they use Pirogues and you have Geyu ghee in the Keys. Great video Aaron.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem +1

  • @jimmy2thymes916
    @jimmy2thymes916 Před rokem +2

    It took me a minute to fathom that setup. I actually felt a little uneasy watching this with you standing up front. But when you were cutting right and left, I totally saw how that set up is completely stable. Super intrigued and can't wait to see some videos with that vessel.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  Před rokem +1

      they are unbelievably stable boats. def does look odd at first but if it functions as we hoped it'll be perfect!

    nice build, definitely hit the customs that make it functional. wired navigational lights and salt water don't mix, I also use battery led that I attach to pontoon rails when dark.

      stoked on it for sure, and yea wanted to avoid the wired ones again.
