Welcome to
Munson Boats.com, home of PACKMAN and PACKCAT high speed landing craft. Our mission
is to build the most versatile aluminum boats on earth.
The William
E. Munson Company is the world leader in design and construction
of High Speed Landing Craft. We differentiate ourselves by specializing
only in welded aluminum landing craft and have built more of
this type of vessel than anyone in the world.
Munson Boats.com
has been developed to act as a guide and wish list for the professional
boater. PACKMAN mono hull and PACKCAT catamaran landing craft are available
in 42 standard hull sizes ranging from 21 to 52 feet in length.
Over 300 standard outfitting options allow us to develop a custom
vessel that best meets your requirements and application.
Every boat
featured within this web site was designed, built and outfitted
individually for the customer. The result is the most versatile
line of aluminum boats providing the highest return on investment.
Designing
and building a High Speed Landing Craft for a specific application
requires experience and skill. Cargo size and weight, vessel
weight and trim, horsepower, speed, fuel capacity, range, draft,
sea conditions, accommodations, and budget all need to be considered.
We have the experience to design you a custom vessel that is
functional, durable and versatile. Let us put our experience
to work for you.
When you choose
a PACKMAN or PACKCAT, you will receive a vessel that combines
the highest level of design, weld quality, craftsmanship and
performance available. If you are undecided on which hull is
best for you, contact us to discuss which design is best suited for your
application. Whether you're packing, pushing or towing, there
is a PACKMAN or PACKCAT that can be built for the job.

"I
am stationed aboard the USCGC HEALY and have had the pleasure
of operating two of the PACKMAN LCVPs during the past year and
a half. I am smitten! They are simply wonderful boats and actually
thinking about one for my "post Coast Guard life when I
retire". Thank you very much for your assistance and for
these marvelous boats. I personally enjoy driving them over anything
else I've had the opportunity to operate during my 21 years in
the 'Guard."

"Munson
has done an excellent job building the ultimate high-speed aluminum
catamaran transport/hunting vessel for Alaskan Adventure Tours.
The workmanship on this boat is second to none. With over 25
years of operating boats in the unpredictable waters of Alaska,
this is the safest most comfortable auxiliary vessel that I ever
had the pleasure to operate."
