Munson Aluminum Boats

A builder of commercial alloy cats and monohulled high speed landing craft with many creative applications:

Munson




LOTS of boat porn if you work your way through the sizes.

A brief video of the 28 mono dealing with some swells:

Yo' Dawg....

"Only problem with the video is that the Catamaran dudes would have a ball watching that boat do that..."
(along with me in mine, also.)

You're working yer way thru a few lists of builders, I can see......good!
Yes, Munson's are cool boats.

Can ya imagine the one pictured, along the Georgia Coast, pulling up along the shore dropping the bow and people walking off, right next to the public boat launch on a busy day say 4th of July weekend?

a bunch of the local "slack jaws", would drop!!
They would here in Freak-ville Florida, that's fer sure!

I can't even imagine all the dumb boater questions that would insue, afterwards.....but it could be fun, would just have to have a tape recorder and push play and let a generic discription of the boat play as you pack up and head home. Or you'd be stuck for hours conducting a question and answer session.

Hell, do something like that up at Tybee Island on a 4th Weekend and the local cops would think they were being invaded.

I know it isn't alloy but this is some radically beautiful work imo:



That CC is trippin'! And are you ready for this: that F-22 hull w/ the 300 Opti will hit 93 mph.

That """spickle bow""" boat reminds me of what they used to say about Fountain boats in the early days of the SKA - "southern kingfish assoc."

Q: -Whats the difference between a Fountain boat, and a porqupine?

A: -The "pricks" are on the inside!

Now I like that other one, looks like a texas "scooter" type bay boat. 'Round here we call them "submarines".
