With a set of houseboat plans, patterns or a complete kit to hand, and a lot of hard work, houseboating can become reality in a relative short space of time.
It’s possible to construct a houseboat in a variety of designs or styles, and construction materials. If lacking experience in construction, start with a small houseboat, say 16’ or so. For the complete novice, stitch and glue is the easiest build method, this uses plywood. With aluminum or steel being more reserved for someone with welding skills.
Locating a set of boat plans shouldn’t be a problem as these are available from a variety of sources. For the DIY enthusiast, the trailerable and pontoon design is fast becoming the most popular style of houseboat on the market.
With the trailerable houseboat its down to the overall versatility of the vessel. Once constructed these crafts are easy to maneuver, tow, and launch & recover from the water. Also, it offers the freedom to travel across the United States to explore some of the most beautiful lakes, and can serve as a travel trailer on the way.
The space and stability are key points to the popularity of the pontoon houseboat. These crafts are constructed using two pontoons, one each side. This can be similar to the design of a lightweight catamaran hull. With its study bulkhead frame and planking in place, the deckhouse is later attached to the hull. The dimensions of the deckhouse will relate to the builders needs. Its possible to locate plans for a 28’ compact version, to sleep two, or a more roomy 40 footer, which has three separate cabins and able to accommodate the entire family.
