Put some type of sunshade on that boat and it would be perfect for cruising around Fort Lauderdale and South Florida. I love the design and construction.
@@aqualectric-gi2ln It is also a smaller boat that is used to evacuate from a large ship during an emergency. I think that it basically the same thing as a dingy. It is just a small open boat.
Not if it's a tug or barge or inland waterways craft that has to obey speed limits and that is where this boat is both born and aimed. I can imagine a twin motor version being used to help manoeuvre a continental barge or take a butty boat in tow while the barge does it's stuff. Also working as marina service boat and recovery for broken down hire boats.. It's steel hull would allow it to safely get between laden river barges without getting crushed. If you've ever seen what happens when a steel barge or narrow boat hits a GRP hire boat or sailing vessel 😬🧙🏼♂️🇬🇧. At the same time it's stable and has high gunwales and power to allow you to cross one of the large shallow meres or zees. Nearest equivalent to the US is the IWS great loop. Just stick a compact quiet generator in the bow or stern locker. For when you cannot plug in. The big side gates would allow wheelchair access or for walking mobility difficulties. So it would make a great foot and bicycle ferry across or along a larger body of water. You can always plug in at the other side and top up. The other thing is any GRP or Carbon boat hitting this is going to disintegrate. 😂 5-6 knots is the typical speed allowed on the canals and rivers so cycling speeds ....typically Dutch and sensible in its environment. They have been building some of the strongest and safest steel and Al Yatchs for over a hundred years.. the steel is marine tank steel usually so it's very corrosion resistant and exceptionally tough they are also masters of rolling it into compound curves.
