My friend hand one of them Gheenoe boats, many years ago. And he was telling me how stable the thing was. At the time I had a Grumman White Water Canoe. It was "supposed" to be very stable in calm water. With just me, yes. Put an inexperienced partner in the thing with you, and someone was going to get wet.

I have been thinking of selling my fancy boat and getting a Gheenoe or one of them one man float boats. I just don't use my good boat enough anymore.

I had a little 8 foot plastic flat boat for real shallow stuff. I held two people, one ... more comfortable. And a trolling motor powered it. That was until I was trout fishing with it, about 100 yards off shore, it began to sink. The first weekend in May, the ice has just got off the lake. Needless to say, I had to swim in to shore, then get a rope, swim back out, tie on to the boat, and drag that out of the lake. I purchased my fancy boat the next weekend.
