22-ft Twin Vee
This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.
Solinst water leveloggers were deployed at four sediment erosion sites (one logger at each site). Loggers were placed inside plastic wells. No data was retrieved.
