- Gheenoe
Gheenoe [GEE-noo] is the trademark name brand for a long, slender, shallow-draft
boat design which is superficially similar to acanoe . Its hull cross section utilizes an integraloutrigger for enhanced stability over that of acanoe , while maintaining the shallow-water andpaddle capabilities of a conventionalcanoe hull. The design includes atransom suitable for mounting a smalloutboard motor . The Gheenoe hull was designed by Harley Gheen, Sr., as a solution to using inherently unstable canoes when attempting to access shallow water areas forfishing , such aslagoons ,marshes , andtributary streams and rivers.The original Gheenoe designs are manufactured by Gheen Manufacturing, Inc. of
Titusville, Florida , USA. Harley "Pugar" Gheen Jr., son of Harley Gheen, expands upon his father's original designs, building customized and larger variations of the original Gheenoe at his manufacturing facility Unlimited Glassworks, also located inTitusville, Florida .References
