Default Floe Craft

I would like to thank everyone for the great comments on the boat. This is Moose Landing Marina.

Everything said here so far is true. This was an "experiment" so to speak for us to see how the line would do. We currently sell Floe's line of roll in docks and boat lifts. So far, the response to the boat has been tremendous. We have a few really great prospects and a ton of possible buyers.

The boat truly is like no other. You will not find a used one, nor will you find another one. We are in the very early stages with the build of the boats, however, they are not a new builder, just a new design. The boats are being built in Minnesota by a very reputable yacht manufacturer and are built using very state of the art techiniques. The boat at the show is equipped with Twin 350 Mags and Axius Joystick. That boat however, even at 36' still tops out at 50+ and only weighs 10K lbs.


The hull is something a little different. Floe calls it an inverted V design. Most of you may recognize it as a shallow(er) catamaran design which is basically what it is. The ride is much different than expected out of a 36' boat. At anchor the boat is extremely stable as expected, however at speed, there is almost zero bow rise and the boat handles like a sportboat. As some of you have seen in the video, it will bank through a pretty sharp turn at speed and with a SINGLE 350 Mag will easy tow a skiier.

There was a recent boat built with a sinigle 8.2L Merc 425 and with 26 people on board and a tail wind the boat reached 42mph. Incredible for this size boat.

Please if you are interested in seeing the boat at the show, feel free to call the marina at 207-693-6264. We would be happy to arrange a showing here at the show. I ask that only truly interested customers call, we do pay for tickets, they are not free.

As for service, just to ease some minds, we offer a very large service department that is open 7 days a week and to service our customers we have put a mobile service unit on the road 7 days a week. We can be at the lake in a few hours to address most any problems.

Thanks for your interest in the floecraft, we truly appreciate all the great press it has been receiving.
