Anyone know of a caravan for sale locally? Don't ask why!

Sorted so don't worry. Any idea where to get floats from , kind of two big sealed kayaks and a decent outboard?

Safer to Buy a boat than make one

Several other ex-Mod kit sites exist.

First night on board the caravan and its just like being on the boat but dryer,warmer and more space.No idea how to work out how much buoyancy though? C of G is easy.While i was in USA you could just buy floats for different size vans.

Start with a litre of air per kg of weight. If your caravan weighs 400kg, your floats should need at least 400L buoyancy.

I might be tempted not to cut it quite so fine........

Ho about a couple of these:
Floats?

True....in my last job i could have easilly got those. Doubt they mix with salt water though.The American floats on st.Johns river looked good, they were polystyrene with a rubber coating.
