This 73 Riverhawk is the fastest Survey boat in the world today. Originally built as a prototype for the Department of Defense as a patrol boat. She can carry a crew of 6 to 12 people. Has a range of 500 NM. Originally built for a cost of $10,000,000.
The boat was built by RiverHawk in Tampa for ~10,000,000 USD (original equipment list provided). The owners acquired it with only 200 operating hours in 2018 through a court approved sale in Florida. The vessel was moved to Canada where it underwent a significant upgrade for ~2,000,000 CAD to bring it to commercial certification standards in Canada because it was designed and built to US Naval Code, not commercial. This involved a full replacement of the electrical systems, new mast and nav equipment, radars, dual ECDIS, GMDSS, NAVTEX, met equipment and installation of several safety systems to meet code. We therefore have a very comprehensive Technical Data Package including all approved drawings and tech data that anyone could ever want. Additionally, the vessel was converted to a hydrographic survey vessel so quite a number of survey related equipment was installed. The owner operated the vessel since then in Canada, including the arctic, as well as in the US to support survey work.
