POSSIBLE USERS GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS – high maneuverability, shallow draft, expansive interior room and rugged construction allows comfortable access to remote fishing and hunting opportunities. EXTREME WHITEWATER ADVENTURES – the shallow draft, rugged construction, powerful engine and pump combination with the turbo impeller make this boat a natural for whitewater enthusiasts seeking new rivers to navigate. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES – constructed to exceed USCG certification standards this boat will allow law enforcement, wildlife management, search and rescue, fisheries and the military years of dependable, trouble free service. Keith and Rene Whittig purchased their 26’ Bentz Boat as a fishing and pleasure boat with the intent to be able to operate the boat in the technical waters of the Salmon River and the bigger whitewater in Hell’s Canyon of the Snake river. Their boat is powered with the new Cummins QSB5.9L, 350 hp electronic motor matched to Hamilton’s 274 jet pump. The Cummins electronic engine is much quieter than the previous mechanical versions, waste-gated to eliminate turbo lag making the engine quite responsive and as with any diesel, very fuel efficient. Standard features include a Cummins supplied digital “SmartCraft” instrumentation, pilot & co-pilot pantograph wipers, pilot & copilot spring ride seats, bench seats with backrests, fish box, dual heaters, removable rear rails, an aluminum hardtop with top trays, top rails and dome lights and Coast Guard approved running and navigation lights. “Extras” include dual cross storage boxes, banana seats for the rear rails, spotlights, aft flood lights, numerous rod & net holders, bow rails & bow ladder, sliding glass side windows, swim deck ladder and live wells. Bentz pioneered features include the sled shaped bow, a short stroke mechanical stick steering and delta pad bottom. These innovations contribute to the boats superior handling, quick planing and shallow running capabilities.
