“You’re gonna need a bigger boat”
It’s one of the most quotable lines in movie history. If you’re truly shopping for a bigger boat, the Munson 52’ Series has a lot to offer. Like all Munson Boats, every 52’ is individually customized for each client’s unique requirements and application. Our 52’ Series are used by the military for transporting armored personnel carriers, by builders to develop remote islands, or it can be a 52’ offshore sportfishing juggernaut.
A mechanized tool is a machine. We build a very serious 52 foot machine – a machine that does things that other machines can do, as well as a few things other machines can’t do. One of those things is landing on a beach. We challenge anyone to find a better machine for that job.
