Here is a crazy idea. I always wanted to put an old Volkswagen bus buddy on a small boat. Like a 25 foot Carolina skiff. That would make a really cool little houseboat.
That would last maybe a few months before starting rust away in the salt. Plus the VW bodies are much heavier then a typical cabin. I'm sure a carolina skiff could float it, but it's not how I would go about it.
This is a tragic ending, for a cute houseboat ! I was doing up a 26" mono hull, fixed keel yacht. I've finished it now. It took me 2 years, working 2 part-time jobs, to get the money for repairs to complete this project. I live in Australia. If I'd found 1 of these 'Hobo' houseboats, I would've bought it, instead of a yacht. There was 1 of these trailerable houseboats, (very much like yours,)a few years ago. It was used as a 'background prop', in a boatyard, in an Australian tv series. I don't know where it ended up !? It wasn't in series 2 of this tv series. I enjoyed your video, even though it was sad ! 😥
