High effi- ciency, combined with unrivaled shallow draft operation and maneuverability, make the units a leading contender on many new- build jobs. A company which has helped lead the jet revolution in the marine industry is Benton, Ark.- based North American Marine Jet. North American Marine Jet has added two powerful contenders to its already strong product arsenal, the new Traktor Jet 1-300 (5,800 lbs. of thrust at 300 hp) and the Traktor Jet I-600HH (8,700 lbs. of thrust at 600 hp) . The 1-300 is featured on the 53- ft. Miss Virgie, a 21-knot boat which also features Twin Disc gears. The 24-in., stainless steel, 11-blade impeller is designed for long life. The unit's housing is constructed of fabricated 5086 marine grade aluminum, a less porous material which helps extend the unit's over- all life. The higher-power TJI-600HH counts many new vessels as refer- ence, including the Expedition, con- structed for Fairfield Industries by GEO Shipyard. The TJI-600 are also installed on the seismic research catamaran Northern Star, which is almost complete at Peregrine Marine in Alaska. The vessel was designed by Elliott Bay Design Group.
