The Maximog® Jet boat is currently in design in collaboration with Doug Riddle of Riddle Marine in Lewiston Idaho. It is designed for rapid traverses and exploratory operations over both basic and challenging waterways.

Capable of accelerating from 0-60 Mph in about 4 seconds, it utilizes a jet pump propulsion system coupled to a modified marine 450 horsepower gasoline engine. It is constructed of 6061T6 aluminum and composites with encapsulated T1 steel armoring in potential impact areas. The high power to weight ratio and steering agility enables difficult operations such as ascending class 4-5 white water rapids.

The water jet provides minimum draft for shallow water operations and minimizes the possibility of damage to living creatures in the marine ecosystem.
