I love the boat. Coming from fishing kayaks for the last year, I treat it like a kayak with much farther range. I have been able to go in just about as shallow as I was with the kayaks. I won't be taking it out in the open on 20 knot wind days. I got into what i guess was 2' chop at cypremort point and that was a bit nerve wracking. So it is a boat with limits but for good weather or protected areas in bad weather, its great.

It really fit my situation perfectly. My kids would get tired too fast trying to fish from a kayak so I wanted something I could take them in (although fishing two kids + me might be a stretch for the boat).

The price was right too. For what I spent I was in the range of 10 - 12 year old bay boats. I don't really have the land to store a bay boat either. The gheenoe fits in the garage along with my wife's car. Finally, if I spend more than $15 in gas on a trip then I probably spent more time riding around than fishing.

One cool thing is they are custom made and the maker is very accessible by phone. He will work with you to give you exactly what you want and his price list is right on the website for each addon.
