A houseboat is a boat that has been designed or modified to be used primarily as a human dwelling. Some houseboats are not motorized, because they are usually moored, kept stationary at a fixed point and often tethered to land to provide utilities. However, many are capable of operation under their own power. In Australia, especially on the Murray River and the sunny coastline of Queensland, there are many motorized, pontoon-based houseboats with two or more bedrooms; some of these houseboats have.

Discussion in ' Boat Design ' started by livinlife , Jan 10, Log in or Sign up. Boat Design Net. Why don't you post a picture of what you want to build to get this started? Narwhale , Jan 10, I was thinking how cool it would be to have a trailer that floated and powered its self.

It would less complicate mechanical drive duties of a coach and boat combo objective one could camp on land and have a house boat all in one trailer axles could be mounted on a small locking lift a fold down back door doubles as a deck, something like the toy haulers have only buoyant. Typically when you attempt to make things do more then what they normally do, you end up with something that does neither very well.

The Amphibicar is a good example of this. It's not a very good boat nor a very good car, but it does sort of act like both. Houseboats, by their nature are not very good boats and I've designed a few that are better then the average.

Making a amphibihouse is fraught with difficulties, that the best engineers and NA's would spend lots of nights scratching their heads over. As for a novice to design something like this, well good luck and don't take family and loved ones on the sea trials. The usual issues with this sort of endeavor is the moving stuff that gets immersed. You'll notice on real boats there's actually very little that actually moves, hinges, etc. There's a good reason for this, corrosion.

It's very difficult to engineer moving pieces, with any level of tolerance to be occasional immersed and not have issues. Sealing up penetrations is another major problem. Things that can just hang in space on a trailer have to be sealed up.

This makes suspension systems pretty interesting to say the least. Could it be done? Sure it can, but it might be a hell of a sight cheaper to launch a houseboat off a trailer, putter around where ever you like then load her back up on the trailer and take her home. It's not like using and keeping a trailer boat is especially difficult or troublesome. Naturally big boats have trailer limitations, but these limitations would still exist, even if the boat had a trailer built in or was amphibious.

Here's two of my houseboat designs. The first is 50' on deck the second is 33'. PAR , Jan 11, Instead of using pontoons you could easily build a trailerable 8'-6" wide beam houseboat hull using a catamaran hull as it is easy to calculate the weight of a house boat, I know you could get a 32' to 36' long hull 2 hulls with a flat deck on which to build off yet would give you a substantial sea kindly boat.

Centainly not a rough ocean boat but much better than a flat bottom houseboat. You do not want to topload it but using lighter materials with fuel load and water load and engines down low, in the sponsons it shoud handle fine.

Just an idea for you. A catamaran hull really gives you a very stable and strong platform. I don't know where you live but most states will give you a yearly permit to to up to 11' wide loads with out a pilot car so that gives you a wide range of launching points depending on the state.

You can get permits from adjacent states also though they may restrict you to centain hours and days and routes to get where you want to go. I'm building a 32' catamarian with a 10' beam and it will be trailable.

Here are some ideas for you. They have kits with calcu;lations for weight loads and everything. Hers the link! Boilermaker , Jan 13, Don't get locked into the idea they have to be pontoons.

SamSam , Jan 13, Go to the Glen L boat design site and under boat plans look up under outboards Bearcat Cuddy. Glen L has been around since the s and many boats built in AU. Good people there at Glen L. Bearcat can be made with an 11' beam.

A catamaran hull is far differeny then pontoons. Look up houseboats on the site to see differances. Depending on what you want the catamaran sponsons pontoons will have to sized correctly if building a much larger hull but the basic structural designing will be very similiar.

Look over the site and get back to us and you can always PM me. There are many sites for much larger hulls on the web. Even larger houseboats can have a cat hull designed for them.

These hulls are true open water hulls not flat bottom river boat hulls. Stan PS many people on this site have built ocean going cats, both power and sail. PAR, where can I get more info on your houseboat designs? I tried googling reccilli yacht designs to no avail. Thanks, Chip. Where you planning to use it: lake, river or coast?
