Camper Cat Pontoon Houseboats - low cost, inflatable, light trailerable boats

by Greg Hood
(Australia)

The new Camper Cat pontoon houseboat is a lightweight, low cost, inflatable trailerable pontoon boat that is being built in Australia. I decided to build a pontoon boat that could go almost anywhere.

Being a designer of inflatable products, I designed a houseboat with big inflatable pontoons. I was amazed how much weight they could hold, and how simple and cheap it all was. Anyone can do it.

My houseboats became so popular I started a business called Camper Cat. I now have an inflatable cabin, furniture and a trailer. You can even use it on land.

These houseboats can be custom designed to any size. I have used mine on Sydney Harbour, The Gold Coast, Gulf in Adelaide. They go great on the sea, but even better on lakes and rivers.

I'm designing a sailing version to make long voyages. Please give my design some thought.

Well Greg, I can see that an inflatable pontoon houseboat that can be trailered to some remote and exotic locations will be very appealing to folks working with a small budget, or looking to travel very light.

I can see them being very easy to trailer, very fuel efficient, and very useful for shallow water exploration. Great for some of those remote fishing excursions.
