PRIDE OF RAINY LAKE

Munson Manufacturing

Last year, Edmonds, Washing- ton-based Munson Manufacturing

Inc. delivered the 42-foot, 49-pas- senger tour boat Pride of Rainy

Lake to Rainy Lake Cruises Inc. of

International Falls, Minn. She is op- erated on Rainy Lake in the Voya- geurs National Park on the Canadi- an border.

The Pride of Rainy Lake, is pow- ered by twin Cummins VT-903 en- gines, each rated at 425 hp at 2,800 rpm. The engines are coupled with two large Hamilton 291 waterjets.

Waterjet propulsion was necessary because the boat must operate in shallow waters—sometimes less than five feet deep—in order for tourists to take a close look at the wildlife ashore. The boat draws only 2 feet 3 inches of water.

The Pride of Rainy Lake, which has a beam of 15 feet, has a spacious cabin with huge windows for visitor viewing. The cabin is fitted with perimeter seating and contains upholstered dining room seats that can be arranged in a variety of con- figurations, including on-board con- ferences attended by 20 to 30 per- sons.

The two Arneson Surface Drives provide the Princess Pat with excel- lent maneuverability and perform- ance. Combining lightweight with the trimmable ASDs, the Princess

Pat can float in as little as 3 feet 9 inches of water, even with 42-inch, four-bladed propellers.
