Carver's
New "Water Rescue/Dive Boat"
Carver's
recently delivered 2008 Water Rescue / Dive Boat was manufactured
by RIBCRAFT USA . The boat features a 90 HP Honda, 4 stroke, EFI
motor, which is harnessed to a 19 foot ridged inflatable hull. The
boat is equipped with a Garmin under water Sonar and GPS, Whelen
Siren and Light Bar, remote controlled 180,000 candle power search
light, 2 handheld spot lights, UHF radio, under deck compartment
storage, a dive ladder rack and a life rope along each side. The
boat is designed for shallow water and can carry a 1,250 pound
load.
The
motor for this boat was donated by Clark Griffith, a local
cranberry grower whose home overlooks Sampsons Pond, Carver's
largest body of water, and no doubt has witnessed many times over
the years when this unit would have been of great benefit.
The
hand held underwater sonar device was donated by Augusta Waters, a
local resident who wanted to purchase a piece of rescue equipment
for the department.
