<BODY> <div> (Continued from page 17) Power for the 24-foot Hammer- head research vessel is provided by a Mercruiser. Controls are Morse single lever, single engine. Equip- ment on this vessel includes Raytheon radar, a Vickers pump, Bloom L-8 winches, a Munson cus- tom trawl gantry designed to ac- commodate net towing for fish sam- pling, and a 14-inch by 16-inch Mari- time Fabrication anchor winch. This vessel will give the researchers the power they need to perform research in the strong currents and winds on the Columbia River. Marine Patrol Vessel The Public Safety Department of Hawaii took delivery of a vessel that satisfied its needs for speed and economy. The 32-foot Hammerhead patrol boat's hull can handle high speeds in heavy seas. Dual Volvo AQAD41/DP engines provide a top speed of 30 knots, and the 200-gal- lon fuel tank allows up to 30 hours at cruising speed before refueling. The vessel is equipped with a Gall 6390 AL-FRAN law enforcement light bar, Jabsco candlepower spot/ search light, Whelen WS-295 100- watt PA siren, and Titan GX2320B VHF radio. Emergency rescue operations are assisted by a dive door and dive platform. A Poseidon 3.9 CFM dive compressor, Furuno #1731 radar, Sitex five-channel GPS plotter, Alden #406 EPIRB, Aquameter 147 compass, Bentley's pilot chair and Sealand #510 marine head complete the outfitting package. Boom Deployment Vessel The Clean Islands Council of Ho- nolulu, Hawaii needed a solid, de- pendable boom deployment vessel to complement its fleet. The Council found what it was looking for in a Munson 24-foot Hammerhead. The boat is outfitted with dual OMC (Johnson), 175 hp outboard engines with dual binnacle OMC controls. Steering is Morse hydrau- lic. A Boaters' Best 850 LB manual strap winch activates the bow door. The vessel is equipped with heavy duty marine grade Baywood 10-inch cast aluminum cleats, Aqua Signal Series 20 navigation lights and Stewart Warner Quartz Hobbs dual deck floodlights. A Sealand 964 head system is installed in one of the two forward lockers.
