Lake Research Boat is specially designed for limnological, ecological and hydrological research in natural lakes, dam lakes, wetlands and in shallow sea waters in Türkiye. The Lake Research Boat is made of high density, light and durable polyethylene material in order to increase its working safety and capacity, and it has the strength to withstand water and physical conditions for many years. The boat can carry 6 personnel – 1200 kg of material easily and safely. The boat's acceleration (to max 32 miles), less power consumption, powerful engine (80Hp, 4-stroke), high maneuverability, closable working and cruising area, reliable stability in bad wave conditions, closed pipe system filled with foam to reduce the risk of sinking at many points, mobility even in very shallow waters (approximately 40-50 cm), the keel covered with water plywood, the lighting, navigation mechanism, signaling system, GPS-Chart plotter, sufficient fuel tank (80 Lt) and spare fuel tank (30 Lt) and its large interior (6 meters long and 2.10 meters wide) make working safer and more comfortable. The Lake Research Boat has a navigation and mobile transport system in compliance with Highway rules. In this way, transportation from one point to another point is realized in a short time and by land. The Lake Research Boat is also able to perform the launching and exiting from water with no need for human power. The Lake Research Boat actively performs measurement, sampling and monitoring studies in many lake and marine research projects conducted by the Environment and Cleaner Production Institute.
