Fremont boat builder, Kvichak Marine Industries, recently delivered a 25’ push boat to Seattle City Light, constructed by them for operation with a service barge at Diablo Dam in the North Cascades.

The Kvichak Marine design is constructed of marine grade aluminum alloy plate and extrusions.  A 1,500 lb davit with manual winch is mounted on the stern, and the boat is powered by twin John Deere 330 horsepower, turbo charged diesel engines with stainless steel props.  The engine allows for a speed of 8 knots while pushing the barge.  The boat carries a crew of three.
