Jet Propulsors Drive

Vessels To New Heights

North American Marine Jet Debuts

Two New Units

Marine jet propulsion has been increasingly embraced by vessel owner/operators as an economical and flexible means of powering a wide variety of vessels. 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. (Continued on next page)
