I have started this post to show my building of a pontoon houseboat. I hope it will be helpful to someone wanting to do the same or for getting ideas to apply to whatever kind of boat you may be working on. I hope to not embarrass myself.
My wife and I enjoy the river and want to be able to travel leisurely on the river. We started out to build a small houseboat that we could trailer and if we like it well enough, we will get a larger one and possibly sell out house. Or we may want to just keep the small houseboat or maybe sell it. Who knows.
The plans that I have drawn are for a 12' wide x 34' long houseboat on 3 aluminum pontoons. The cabin will be 12'x 24'. I have not finalized all the appliances and such, but I would like to have enough of a solar and battery system to be able to only need a small generator to run occasionally to charge the batteries. I haven't figured all that out yet.
Would like to use 2 outboard motors, but may use one. Will use a msd device.
