Model Firehawk 26 - 28
Product Highlights and Innovations:

Patented - Dual 8’ collapsible dive platform doors. These doors are hydraulically controlled from the drivers helm with a manual override.  The doors (foam filled) float on the waterline when completely  lowered providing multiple patient access in a rescue situation. These doors also provide a flat waterline platform for dive exercises and rescue basket area for easier helicopter attachment and removal.

When both Port and Starboard doors are lowered these also provide additional boat stability in heavy seas.


Patented Multi Function Combo Drive System (MCD) - This system is configured with twin 4-stroke Outboards and a single V8 Mercruiser Inboard / Jet drive. This sytem offers the best of both worlds. offers performance of Twin 4 stroke outboards and the shallow water capability and safety of using a jet drive during a rescue situation (no moving props!)
The Jet also serves a dual purpose by not only helping with propulsion, but also acting as a approximately 2000 GPM fire pump. Water is diverted from the jet drive to 1 or 2 monitors.  From 1 monitor pressure is approximately 145 psi, from 2 monitors -125 psi.
Boat can manuever with just the Twin Outboards with top speeds around 64 mph, withjust the single jet for speeds around 45 mph, or with all 3 drives for speeds around 70 mph.


Optional Fire pump System (instead of MCD) -
The Firehawk (Fire model) also provides a 1200 GPM Hale fire pump and bow mounted Elkhart monitor for fire suppression (water and foam) and “pump out” capabilities.  The below deck fire pump is directly plumbed through the keel (Patented). The pump is always primed and can supply water with a turn of a key for the fire pump engine.

The Twin Jet Drive Firehawk can utilize one of the jet drives to divert water for fire surpression. This system also provides 1200 GPM. 
With either fire surpression system there is always full manueverability of the boat will pumping.
 

2/3’s of the hull is foam filled. Making the boat “unsinkable”. The deck is also self bailing with the open transom design and with the side dive doors allowing water to escape from the deck.
