Q-Boat 1800 Remotely-Operated Instrumentation Boats Maximize ADCP Survey Efficiency The Oceanscience Q-Boats are the number one choice for reliable remotely-controlled acoustic Doppler current profiling in streams, rivers, lakes and coastal waters all over the world. Whether you need to reduce your survey time, keep people safe during difficult conditions, or access hard to reach locations, there is a Q-Boat to suit your survey and your budget. Mounts for all popular acoustic Doppler profilers are available as standard. Q-Boat 1800P The Oceanscience Q-Boat 1800P, made of high-impact UV resistant ABS, features twin high power outdrives to give a 5m/s (16fps) top speed with the security of dual motors. The precision variable speed propulsion allows effective profiling at speeds as low as 30cm/s (1.0fps), and is easy to operate in both high and low velocity conditions. Dual steering mechanisms offer added security for safe deployments. The QB-1800P provides a total solution to river discharge measurement. Q-Boat 1800D The Oceanscience Q-Boat 1800D offers the same effective hull and remote control electronics as the QB-1800P, but features a single robust outdrive to give a 2m/s (7fps) top speed. Dependability is provided by the simplicity and durability of its rugged one-piece outdrive. The easy to operate QB-1800D is designed to be cost effective without sacrificing reliability, and sets a new standard in affordable remote control river discharge monitoring. Bathymetry And Custom Sensor Deployments Online Viewers Click Images for Video The Q-Boat 1800 is ideal for inshore bathymetric surveying using Doppler current profilers, single beam echo sounders, or deployment of water quality monitoring instrumentation. Add GPS location and a data transmission package such as the Oceanscience Hydrolink spread spectrum radio modems to make the Q-Boat the ultimate compact survey platform. www.oceanscience.com
