The Aquamog was created in the early 1980′s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family founded AU in 1975.
Both Tom and Dave McNabb developed the Aquamog brand and line of equipment throughout the 1980s and 1990s while with AU. Tom continued the Aquamog line into the new century with the addition of the MarshMog. Tom’s new company Clean Lakes, Inc. located in Martinez, California and Dave’s company DK Environmental in
Lafayette, California have been working together on the aqua-mog project for about 10 yrs. and in Feb ’09 the Aquamog CCX-238 was introduced into the aquamog group.
The machine know by a few as the swamp cutter; swamp rig; cookie cutter; tule cutter; various other names was in “no name land” so to speak. It did not fit the mold of conventional aquamogs as being a multi-purpose aquatic maintenance vessel. But is has now worked its way into the aqua mog family of vessels.
With ten years of testing and rigorous test Tom and Dave thought that the vessel with out a name had finally proven itself as a true Aquamog. The Aquamog CCX-238 had meet all the critical tests to become an Aquamog. The Aquamog CCX-238 has now completed all the tests and is ready to stand side by side with the rest of the Aquamogs.
The Aquamog CCX is special because of its ability to enter places that can not be accessed by the MarshMog or the Aquamog PRX and Aquamog SRX-109. Also it has been found that the Aquamog CCX system of removing aquatic emergent vegetation such as cattails and bulrush can be performed in a fraction of the time and more efficiently than with the other aquamogs. This equates to a savings for clients and users of the machines.
As with the other Aquamogs the McNabb’s have a unique way of naming the aquamogs after their best attributes. The Aquamog CCX-238 is no different. The Aquamog CCX-238 is named the 238 horse-power Detroit engine that it has humming under the back hood. The CCX stands for “Cookie Cutter eXtraordinaire”. The “Cookie Cutter” part of the name was picked due to its ability to cut channels through any type of aquatic emergent vegetation with easy, like a cookie cutter through dough.
The following is a list of some of the other aquamog names and how they where derived.
Aquaomg PRX-163 – 163 Horse Power and PRX stands for “Power Rig eXtraordinaire”
Aquamog SRX-109 – 109 Horse Power and SRX means for “Small Rig eXtraordinaire”
HarborMog HRX-109 109 Horse Power and HRX stands for “Harbor Rig eXtraordinaire”
Aquamog WRX-225 225 H.P. and WRX means for “Walking Rig eXtraordinaire”
So you see it was only fitting to give the Aquamog CCX-238 is proper name. All of the aqua-mogs that where manufactured by the McNabb’s will be written about over the next few months in a series at www.aquamogs.com. Please check those sites for additional info on the other Aquamogs and projects that they have done all around.
