Folding Pontoon Boat Review

Folding Pontoon Boat

Review of the new foldable pontoon boat : SeaEagle FoldCat 375fc

Pontoon boats are a great way to get to places where fish are hiding. But who has 35-40 minutes to spare to put their boat together? Most rowing frames take that length of time to assemble. The SeaEagle.com FoldCat has a unique folding support system that can be inflated and assembled in 5 minutes by one person.

The FoldCat 375fc folding pontoon boat will take up to a 3 hp gas engine but motors very well with a small electric motor. Two swivel seats allow you to turn and follow the fish wherever they swim.

Unlike other pontoon boats, the FoldCat 375fc features a 1000 denier reinforced inflatable hull - just like the SeaEagle Sport Boats that take 40 hp engines.

Cheaper pontoon boats are built with a thin bladder which is encased in a heavy but porous outer bag. This makes for a much heavier boat with two hulls. The outer, porous hull often remains waterlogged and a breeding ground for bacteria.

Two-man pontoon boats with this system can weigh 125lbs when dry, and over 150lbs when waterlogged. By comparison, the FoldCat hull is an easy to carry 75lbs.

Using the optional Seat Pedestal gives the angler a better perspective in sight fishing. The subtle changes in depth, water clarity, or bottom composition are easily viewed from the deck of a FoldCat.

We're delighted to be able to recommend the SeaEagle FoldCat
