As you know, I have a classic. I've had 4 adults, battery, trolling motor, and a full cooler in it for a ride and it was pretty sketchy but the little thing was very impressive. We had around 1000lbs in the boat not including motor and platforms etc. and it was still going 25mph and never felt like it was going to tip. That being said, I would not want to fish 3 adults from a Gheenoe, there's just not enough room. I've loved the Gheenoe and it's the perfect switch from kayak to boat. The main limiting factor on the Gheenoe is open water capability. I've had it in some decently rough water and never felt like I was going to sink but I wouldn't want to make it an every day occurrence.

FWIW, I am selling the Gheenoe to move into a bigger skiff. This is mainly because I hate fishing around other boats and usually run a good ways before I start fishing and I feel this would be way quicker and more comfortable from a larger skiff. I will 100% own another Gheenoe at some point in the future tho.

I’ll try to answer everyone here:
I love in Abita Springs
I fish mainly around Hopedale/Reggio/Delacroix but that may change with a boat.
I do hunt but I don’t want that to factor into my decision because fishing is my number one and I want to be very happy when I’m fishing.
What larger skiffs are you looking at reds?
