Z-Boat 1800 Remote Hydrographic Survey Boat Maximize Shallow Hydrographic Survey Efficiency Oceanscience Z-Boats offer a completely new option for shallow water hydrographic surveying. The Z-Boat system is a turnkey survey package, including GPS and echo sounder, remote control electronics, and an integrated data telemetry system. Remote control of the survey boat is easy using GPS position and heading available in real time on the shore laptop. A high power remote control system offers up to 1km range, with a survey endurance of over 8 miles on a single battery pack. For surveys in fast flowing rivers, the dual outdrive Z-Boat offers a maximum speed of over 10 kts (5 m/s). Z-Boat 1800 For professional hydrographic survey requirements, the Z-Boat 1800 may be specified to individual customer requirements. The boat may be purchased with the desired depth sounder pre-installed, or supplied ready to accept existing equipment from the user’s survey pool. Similarly, customized cabling can be included allowing the boat to accept existing GPS, GNSS and RTK positioning systems. For a turnkey survey-grade system, the Z-Boat 1800 is offered with the Seafloor Systems SonarM8 echo sounder and Hemisphere A-100 submeter GPS. For less exacting requirements, the Z-Boat 1800 is offered with a NovAtel meter-level accuracy GNSS antenna and robust Airmar 235kHz depth sounder installed. Designed as an “off the shelf” survey solution, the Z-Boat 1800 is unmatched in convenience and value.
