In 1953, on a shallow fast
flowing river in the back country of the South Island of New
Zealand, a small boat overcame the forces of nature to
travel upstream against the current. The boat was a
Hamilton Jetboat, and is recognized as the genesis of the
modern waterjet propulsion system.
Today, waterjets are the
preferred propulsion choice for a wide range of pleasure and
commercial craft where high efficiency, outstanding
maneuverability, shallow draft capability and low
maintenance are key requirements.
The Hamilton organization
remains at the forefront of this industry through the
activities of its two operating divisions, Hamilton Jet and
Hamilton Marine. |
