Where firefighters come to talk training

New Rescue Boat Design

A group of swiftwater rescue team members are working on what makes a perfect rescue boat. You can see us tormenting the prototype at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3gvPdCD824

Your comments, suggestions, critiicsms would be much appreciated.

Future plans include adding two trolling motors underneath with PWM speed controllers for differential steering. The speed controller will also receives RC transmission for true remote control and boat-only deployment.

Tell us what you think . . . and what you would like to see in a rescue boat.

This is not a product solicitation or advertisement. We do not have boats to sell . . . just a concept we're exploring.

A rescue boat must be fast and it must have a certain design, which will help it moves fast in difficult conditions. The authority which administers these boats must be always prepared for rescue missions. The best boat Attwood replacement parts should be bought in advance to have them prepare if the boats need immediate repairs.
