ogue Jet boats are well known among the fishing community for the rugged reliability they offer. First responders have been utilizing Rogue Jet boats for the same reason for over three decades.

Why are law enforcement and other and other federal and local agencies attracted to the quality workmanship and reliability of Rogue Jet?

The answer is simple- owner Bruce Wassom has been a key player in the development and construction of law enforcement boats throughout the United States for more than 30 years.

Ever since Bruce successfully sold his first patrol boat he has been introducing the rest of the country to his custom law enforcement vessels.

“ I have built more than 200 law enforcement boats over the years,” said Bruce.“ And we’ ve shipped them to Hawaii, New York, Montana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, California, Alaska, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington.”

“ Bruce not only brought a boat to our location that we could test,” said Deputy Lair.“ He even brought along an empty hull that we could inspect at our leisure. Now that’ s going the extra mile for your customers!”

Bruce loves to point out the features that make his designs stand out when he says,“ Our longitudinal box girders are welded solid on both side of the boat along the entire length, and made from. 160 inch thick aluminum. In the back center section of the boat we add a 1 / 4” thick overlay on 6 feet off of the bottom in the back, because this area is the main impact area affected when the vessel strikes a submerged object in the water.”

“ We also surround the jet intake portion of the hull with a 1 / 2” x 2” solid aluminum bar that is welded to the bottom of the vessel for more strength. Every transom we build has a thickness of. 190 inches.”

“ Because we are only one of a few aluminum boat manufacturers that build inboard jet boats as a focused line.” said Bruce.“ We understand that this company must go the extra mile to ensure that our products are the best, and perfectly suited to the needs of law enforcement personnel, guides, outfitters, and the public.”
