Nearshore hydrographic data collection in RV Congaree River
New pictures of the RV Congaree River and her crew have been added to our Data Collection page!
RV Congaree River is CSE’s 24 foot custom welded aluminum-hull jetboat, powered by an 8.1L GMC inboard engine. Originally designed to handle whitewater rapids in the Hells Canyon area of the Snake River, her extremely shallow draft and high-performance characteristics allow CSE’s captain, Philip McKee, to collect bathymetric data much closer to shore and under a much wider range of conditions than possible with conventional boat designs.
