The
Jet Boat is designed for speed and maneuverability. A shallow hull
and lightweight materials aid in giving the boat incredible stability.
The Shearwater Jet is fitted with 2 x 230HP inboard Steyr Marine Dieself
type 246’s with Hamilton HJ212 Waterjets, with Turbo impellers
and dry run bearings. The hull is reinforced with Kevlar and is divided
into watertight divisions so as to allow for the complete flooding
of any one division, whilst maintaining its stability. The Jet is
fitted with a self-righting mechanism - a permanently inflated buoyancy
device – resulting in the ability to right the vessel by one
person.
The engines are specially designed to minimize potentially harmful
emissions and are EU approved for use on inland waters throughout
Europe. The engines are also housed in a special sound absorbing enclosure
so as to minimize noise pollution.
The boat can hold a maximum of 12 people and three crew. |
