Hike Builds Customized

Research Vessels

Hike Metal of Wheatley, Ontario recently manufactured a 26-foot re- search vessel to help monitor the water quality of the Great Lakes.

Delivery of this vessel type has been taken by a variety of private compa- nies and government organizations, including Canada's Ministries of the

Environment and Natural Re- sources. The vessels are powered by a single Volvo Penta AD41/DP ma- rine diesel engine with stern drive, giving the vessel a top speed of 35 mph. The deep-V hull helps the boat run smoothly through the rough wa- ters of the Great Lakes.

Hike custom-built the craft to fa- cilitate their scientific mission. The enclosed wheelhouse doubles as a mobile laboratory, the helm is on the starboard side and a large counter- top working area is on the port side.

Two hinged, watertight aluminum doors allow full access to the rear work deck. The doors can be closed when lab work is being done. Other features helpful to research person- nel include a removable davit which allows easy sampling of water.
