Hi all
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm hoping someone can help
We currently have a small cabin cruiser on the river and to be honest we mostly use our dinghy for short river trips so the boat is no more than a floating caravan
This is just a plan in our minds at the moment but we are thinking of selling the boat and building a pontoon houseboat a few others have done this along the river
I can't find much information online about the floats etc to make the base we are not talking to big maybe 10ft wide by about 25ft long ?
I was thinking about getting a couple of long steel airtight boxes made and building a frame across to support the floor etc
Any advice or a link to information would be helpful
Also advice on stability at this size ?
