Float-A-Home 40 Houseboat Now Available

Description

Introducing the Float-A-Home 40 Houseboat. With 30 years of Live-Aboard experience I’ve brought everything I’ve learned over the decades of waterborne living into this design. If I had to start all over again this is exactly the boat I’d build. Designed with three things in mind: It has to be easy to build by anyone, comparatively cheaper than an equivalent yacht, and provide a comfortable Tiny-Home-style living space in minimal docking length. The interior is all one level so the interior is a lot easier to build than a traditional yacht and can be done using RV / Tiny-Home materials and techniques. You could even use Home Depot or Ikea stock bedroom and kitchen components etc. There’s plenty of space up top for a large canopy-mounted Solar Array, for those with “off-grid” sensibilities as well.

THE HULL is a brand new creation designed from the ground up with house-boat performance in mind. She has extra wide chine flats to help get her on plane easily and a pronounced & curvy 1° rocker for enhanced efficiency at displacement speeds. So whatever speed and power level you’d like she’s comfortable and easily driven. Just as at home as a displacement lugger or a mid-speed planing boat. Outboard power means you can start with cheaper, smaller, or used outboard motors and then re-power later when funds allow.

This boat can also be built as a Family Cruiser, Live-aboard, Tour boat, Airbnb, etc. depending on owner preferences.
