"Black River Boats"


"Bullet"


The "Bullet" is a rugged boat that can plow through obstacles and still has good speed and efficiency. Its long duration makes it an excellent choice for over night or longer trips in adverse waters. It can operate in as little as 8" and has the ability to skip over obstacles in 5" of water. It has a top speed of 5.5 mph and can cruise at 3mph for 24 hrs*. Its capacity with batteries is 600 lbs.

The "Bullet's" propulsion systems consists of a submersible electric permanent magnet 24/36 volt DC motor with a static thrust rating of 65/105 lbs. The motor mounting shaft rotates for steering, giving greater control than the use of a rudder. The motor is protected by a skeg allowing the boat to slip over or be pulled across obstacles.

 The power is delivered to the motor through Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for maximum control and efficiency, fully variable speed in forward and reverse. High bypass allows for operation at low battery conditions or for top speed in close situations. Steering tiller at left hand has all controls and amp meter at the right hand. Options include light and a bilge pump.

The seat for the operator is slightly higher than the passengers seat for better visibility. A well for dry storage, ice or flooded for use as a fish well is directly behind the operator's seat. The batteries can be placed under the operators seat and the front seat in a manner as to "trim" out the boat depending on the load placement. The "Bullet" can be handled from a truck bed but is best trailered. Standard exterior hull color is dark green.

*Speeds and times are dependent on many factors such as battery state of charge and condition, trim and load of the boat, depth of water, wind and currents. The numbers above should be used as a guide.
