Gheenoe

Gheenoe /ˈɡiːnuː/ is the trademark name brand for a long, slender, shallow-draft boat design which is superficially similar to a canoe but is much more stable. The original 15'4" LOA and 44" beam hull utilizes an integral outrigger for enhanced stability over that of a canoe, while maintaining the shallow-water and paddle capabilities of a conventional canoe hull. The design includes a transom suitable for mounting a small outboard 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 for fishing, such as lagoons, marshes, and tributary streams and rivers.
