Invest in a shore thing
Regardless of the type of vessel you are looking for, having the capability and the confidence to access the beach directly is a huge advantage. Munson Boats are designed to be beached – over and over again. Rocky shorelines and concrete boat ramps are commonly used for landings (disclaimer – don’t hit the concrete any harder than necessary and use common sense). Munson Boats are well known for taking a beating that would destroy most boats. Over the years, many have survived hurricanes, tornados and floods that bust them loose, send them adrift and deposit them up on the rocks.
Like all Munson Boats, our 36’ landing craft features a welded aluminum hull made with no less than 1/4″ aluminum plate. We double that where the boat meets the beach to give you a full half-inch of metal. In the world of 36 foot boats, there is only one boat with all of the advantages of a Munson.
Our clients say it best…
“I think I can speak for the entire team in thanking you and your company for building such an incredible boat!”
