RC Boat
Detailed Description
On September 16, 2014 the USGS Maine Office took a remote controlled boat to the Kennebec River in Gardiner to get experience operating the boat in "real world" conditions. This boat is used with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) to measure streamflow or conduct bathymetric surveys. The RC boat is operated from shore, and can get into places that a regular manned boat can't.
