River Boats & Jets

Duroboat has been experimenting with hulls that are designed to utilize outboard jets or pumps.  These hulls are flatter bottoms with a dead rise of only about 6 degrees.  Our goal would be to provide a low cost but tough boat for the person who wants to get up river but does not necessarily want to buy a boat in the same price range as a Merceded Benz. This boat will use low hosepower pumps in the 30 to 50 HP range. A few interior shots follow.

We are not yet in production on a river boat yet but If this type of boat appeals to you let us or your nearest Duroboat dealer know. 

These pictures  show a flat bottom duroboat with a 50 HP Honda pump.

While we wait for our next iteration of the river boat  the first prototype shown above has begun seervice as a special events bandstand.  We have used it on land and sea to present The Bobbers.

It is shown below being towed in the Seattle yacht clubs Opening Day Parade.
