Munson Mfg. To Build

Hydrographic Boats Under $1.5-Million Contract

Munson Manufacturing Compa- ny, Edmonds, Wash., has been awarded a $1,566,941 contract to build two 44-foot hydrographic ves- sels for the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers.

According to Bill Munson, pres- ident of Munson, the award is the largest single contract the company has ever won.

Besides their extensive array of sophisticated electronics, each ves- sel will be powered by twin 550-hp, 6V92 Detroit Diesel engines driving

Hamilton 361 waterjets and will have service speeds of about 20 knots. The engines will be cooled by fresh water using Fernstrum keel coolers.

Munson expects to deliver both boats in the spring of 1989.
