SeaEagle 375fc FoldCat

Unless you have your heart set on a fishing kayak, you really should consider this folding catamaran by SeaEagle that comes in four different packages.

A quick couple of notes about these boats: the folding technology is patented so you will not find it anywhere else; reinforced hull material can take an incredible pounding–their website shows them pounding the hull with the claw end of a hammer! See the bottom of the post for the specs. Meanwhile here are the boats.

This patent-pending Sea Eagle FoldCat pontoon boat, which takes you to more fishing spots than you ever thought possible will let you catch more fish with less hassle. Unlike most pontoon boats, which have huge metal frames with tons of parts, the FoldCat sports a unique folding frame design that assembles in a mere five minutes.

Even better, the floor has a ton of useable space and functions as a “safety net” that catches any gear you may drop, letting you carry more fishing tackle and supplies than on traditional pontoon boats.  And with the 360-degree swivel seats that offer plenty of back support and generous cushions, you’ll sit in the lap of luxury on every fishing excursion.

The FoldCat is extremely light with little drag, and when paired with a 3 horsepower gas engine, the FoldCat rips along at 8 knots, fast enough to make headway against tides or headwinds.

The super-buoyant 16-inch pontoons, are spaced widely apart and connected by a 4-foot 6-inch beam, giving the boat incredible stability as compared to a hard hull boat. Other features include a sturdy 1,000-denier reinforced hull, four top-quality rod holders that mount into pre-drilled holes on the two benches, an oar/paddle combo set, a step bench, two quick-release seat mounts, two nylon carrying bags for the parts and a foot pump. The disassembled boat fits into a full-size car trunk.

The FoldCat, holds two adults (up to 650 pounds), measures 148 by 54 inches (W x L) and weighs 75 pounds. It’s also backed by a three-year warranty.
