Electric motors produce maximum torque from zero RPM, and do not need this kind of propeller tuning, other than to reduce current draw or to alter boat handling.

For better handling of low-quality reads, BOAT supports a "3'-end Trimming Mode" to build local optimized alignment for sequencing reads, further improving sensitivity.

The centre also boasts a 75-tonne mobile boat travel-lift capable of handling vessels up to around 85 feet and 21 feet in beam.
