POSSIBLE USERS TOUR OPERATORS – Capable of speeds up to 50 mph, hotels, cruise lines, resorts, and tour companies can offer unique trips to enhance the experience of their guests. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION – With its capacity to carry 55 passengers at 35 mph cruising speeds, in water as shallow as 14 inches, along with its low maintenance aluminum hull and Hamilton jet pumps, it offers an attractive alternative to buses and trains along inland waterways. The Canyon Quest represents a Bentz Boats first: it is U.S. Coast Guard certified to carry 55 passengers. The boat has a collision bulkhead as the U.S.C.G. requires one to be installed to certify any boat for more than 49 passengers along with all of the other safety features required for the certification. The bow is enclosed and has an inspection hatch for bulkhead access. The three Hamilton 241 jet pumps required a custom designed hydraulic assist system for the stick steering. Because this boat must navigate the shallow and rocky channels of the Snake and Salmon Rivers in Idaho, USA, a quick steering response is mandatory. Bentz Boats uses computer technology and 28 years of experience to match engines and pumps to provide an efficient balance of performance to load capacity to economy. It is a testimony to this balance and delta pad bottom design that this boat can carry its 55 passengers at close to 50 mph in water as shallow as 14”. SEATING LAYOUT SIDE VIEW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES – Seats can be removed to make room for equipment and supplies that can be ferried over waterways previously considered non-navigable for remote outpost establishment or maintenance.
