The Riverette offers a choice of two drives. The ‘Impeller System’ is totally incorporated in the hull and above the hull line enabling the craft to sit on the river bed once the tide has receded, and ideal for use in shallow waters.

     The ‘Propeller System’ is slightly more efficient and has the propeller below the hull line incorporated in our own compact ‘semi-pod’ system. This arrangement offers a choice different drive ratios and propeller size to suit the requested performance requirements.

“Hi Jim

 Just to let you know that we took Otter out on Saturday evening despite a very strong wind and choppy water. The increased power helped no end and Otter coped with the conditions well.

 This morning I was out on the water at 8.15am, my first trip on my own. Again there was quite a wind once out on the water but the extra power got me out beyond our bit of the creek without problems and then I was able to reduce to 'Jim speed' and just potter around, drifting into the side in the sunshine and tying up to a tree whilst I enjoyed coffee and toast, read for a while and observed the bird-life. Crept very close to two cormorants before they realised I was there, also lots of egrets, a heron and several greenshank. It was a very pleasant trip. Thank you very much for all your efforts, it has made all the difference and now I can do what I had hoped. “
