Key Features:

  • Expand the range of measurements possible with the StreamPro
  • High quality, unbreakable hulls and outriggers
  • Suitable for StreamPro instruments with a compass upgrade
  • Maintains instrument orientation by reducing pitch, roll, y​​aw

The Riverboat SP is the top choice for deployment of the Teledyne RDI StreamPro acoustic Doppler current profiler. Upgrade from the standard StreamPro float to the more stable, rugged and fully corrosion-resistant tethered boat. The Riverboat SP makes safe, easy measurements of discharge in relatively slow and fast flowing waters. Made of unbreakable polyethylene, the Riverboat SP is strong and can handle tough deployment conditions. The standard boat configuration fits a TRDI StreamPro ADCP, and the latest instrument clamp is suitable for the StreamPro with or without an internal compass upgrade.
