1673 X3™ Connector Boat®
The heart and soul of the RescueONE® modular water response system.
STANDARD FEATURES FOUND ON 1673 X3™
STIFFBack™
DOUBLE HULL
Built to meet and exceed USCG regulations, the StiffBACK™ double hull greatly increases its stiffness, safety, and durability. Flotation foam is bonded within the hull, assuring your RescueONE® Connector Boat® will float even when completely flooded. The inside of the hull is lined with a slip resistant bedliner, and the flat grey color prevents glare
QUICKFit™
Railing System
Every RescueONE® Connector Boat® is surrounded with a patented, connecting rail, allowing an unlimited number of boats to be connected together in any formation needed.
SecureTRAC™
Inside the gunwale rail is our exclusive SecureTRAC™, which allows for easily securing equipment without the use of tools or expensive connection devices.
FlexSEAT™ Boxes
Removable FlexSEAT™ boxes provide seating and equipment storage, with three different configurations to fit the needs of the mission as shown here. A simple two lock attaching system allows the boxes to be moved quickly in an emergency, or throw them overboard if needed. FlexSEAT™ boxes float.

NightVISION™ Light Package
INCLUDES 8 high-intensity, submersible LED lights which are flush mounted in the hull with 2 front, 2 back, and 2 on each side. They surround the boat with light on all sides.
SUNShade™ Top
The top is high-quality marine grade fabric, and has a lightweight strong aluminum frame, nylon positioning straps, and a protective boot. It folds back and is easily removable. When used on a model 1673 X2™ or 1673 X3™ with the SecureTRAC™ feature, it can be moved forward/backward. The boat also will accommodate two SUNShades™.
166 FIREBoat™
Using the standard 1673 X3™ hull with lower USCG weight capacities it is a more effective, more nimble, lower maintenance waterfront firefighter for a fraction of the cost of the big boys, and it will operate in much shallower water. Equipped with the RescueONE® FireBOAT Pump™ which is powered by a 20hp V-twin gasoline engine, comes with a primer, monitor, intake hose, and floating strainer. It pumps 90gpm at 125psi or 490gpm at low pressure. It can be quickly removed from the boat if the boat is needed for other missions.
Sonar Options
Sonar technology plays a crucial role in water recovery operations. Eighty percent of our boats go out equipped with side scan sonar. We have even developed a bracket to mount the transducer so it reads the flow of water off our hull when underway more consistently. Also, our mount for the sonar head is designed to work well with or consoles and to provide the team with flexibility.
We can install any brand of sonar you choose, however over the years, we have come to the conclusion that Humminbird brand Helix side scan units provide the best combination of affordability, ease of use and performance. This is especially true when the settings that Humminbird recommends for first responders searching for targets are installed.
