[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3737200, member: 5412"] In our travels around the NW in Washington state and further into British Columbia there are thousands that live on house boats. Very nice house boats that have all the amenities of a home on land other than the harbor seals that occasionally want to use the HB for a resting area but they leave when "asked" I've been told. Full hookups with sewer, electric and water. They grow mini gardens on the roofs and so on. I'm guessing 650 sq ft living area? More with the walkways around them. They aren't designed to be self-propelled. Must be towed to a new location if they want. That being said there are YouTube videos of folks that build some really crude but river-worthy house boats that are self-propelled, moving up and down rivers to marinas at will. Some of them look pretty cool. [MEDIA=youtube]4M1QnqjCSxE[/MEDIA] There was a couple from Tulsa/Broken Arrow area that took the tour around the east leaving from Lock and dam 33 I think it is and going around the tip of Florida to the St Lawrence Seaway and finally back to Tulsa. Took a year. They ran out of money once and had to work for a month to get back on the sea. There are a lot of folks that live full time on cabin cruisers that post on YouTube with tips on how to make it more comfortable and usable for the current wifi and internet connections, places to stay and so on. I follow a couple of them. As a fisherman, I'd love to live on the water. Wife, not so much, so RV it is. [/QUOTE]
