@JACKOJACKO121 well we know it wasnt going to sink because its floor is foam filled like a boston whaler is. there is more weight in the bottom than the top so it wont tip over. it could of rolled over by doing it, but it wouldnt sink.
LOL'd at the pics of snow in the driveway, reminded me of home. Then noticed the pic with the magazines in it, and realized it was home, in the Upper Peninsula! Beautiful boat, and wish I could see it. I plan on building my own houseboat in the future, and could get some invaluable information from yours. Excellent work!
Great video! I am currently building a mini tugboat. My dream is to someday, like in a year of two, build a house boat on which to live full time in retirement. If I start next year, I should have it built just in time to retire. Sell everything I own and move south to a small harbour or bay somewhere. Thanks for the inspiration. if you want to see my min tug videos, search youtube for mini tugboat. I am up to part 7, and almost ready to fiberglass and paint.
@deepbeeps Thanks. thats cool. my dad just finished building a mini tug. i have a video of it, but i havent had time to add captions and put it on here yet. you could have it done in couple years if you have time to work on it.
@bimdawg Thanks. most of the stuff was from ebay and what we already had here from building other things. some of the stuff came from west marine and stuff like that. the windows and a couple other things can from a place in indiana. i dont remember the name of it, but its like a salvage yard.
@JellisonFilms never been on the ocean with this boat. its very seaworthy, its unsinkable. the entire floor is filled with 2 part foam. just like a boston whaler. Thanks!!!
@nightsniper101 Good work. Theres so much about this video that I like. Even the music. Theres a lot of space inside and the I can see that the work on the floor was really extensive to avoid water coming in. Id like to know what material you used to make the walls and how did you cover it to make it waterproof and how did you flash the joints between the hull and walls. Good work again. Sure love to arrang a fishin trip sometime buddy. Also well done on the alternative energy source.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutly luv the design and your video is really inspiring. Teach me!!!! Im thinking of taking on a a project but building it from the ground up about how long did this take you. and do you think this could be done with a novice skill level???
@strngEnough2Brk Thank you!!! it took a total of 2 winters. the first winter we built what we needed to have to be able to use it in the summer. the next winter we finished the rest of the boat to where it is now. we built a tugboat from the ground up, but dont have the video up yet. it probably could be done, it would take longer and may not be able to do some stuff if you dont have the right equipment. we've been building things for along time.
Awesome boat! I love the fact that you built this all yourself. Did you design this yourself? When you made the walls it looked like you had all the opeinings for everything just right. You put some thought into this. What did you use to cover the exterior walls? It looked like plywood on the inside, but finished like fiberglass???? Thanks for the vid! I'm hopeing to build a pontoon based house boat sometime, before I get burried.....
@mdr8088 Thanks!!! yeah we designed it ourself, the only thing that was original was the hull. yeah, we had everything measured out before we put it together. yeah its plywood covered in fiberglass and epoxy to make it stonger. your welcome. there's 2 more videos comming soon of bulding boats when i get a chance to finish them.
@yappertrap Thanks!!! yeah the led's look really cool at night, kinda hard to take a good picture of them. they look different than in the picture. they make the side of the boat blue. around 100k in materials and most of the stuff put in side. like the tv, fridge, that kinda stuff. the motors and all of the controls were around 60-80k.
VERY NICE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THAT WAS , I AM ON MY 2ND BOAT NOW THE FIRST TOOK 1 1/2 YEARS THE 2ND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR 7 YEARS AND ANOTHER YEAR TO GO,GREAT BOAT ENJOY
@TheBoatman11 Thanks!!! yeah its alot of work to do. first winter we got enough done so we could use it that summer and the next winter we finished it. it was fun to build.
@sportsmanslodgeshow Thanks Ron!!! just added what went with it. not really sure how they work. this was in houseboat magazine with the link. so i got some views from there.
Pretty cool, reminded me of camping with my dad. I don't like plastic boats, but i wouldn't mind living in your boat. It looks very well-planned, and the outcome is matching that. Good work.
I need some advice. I am about to embark on building a houseboat from scratch and where it will be situated will mean a logistical nightmare when it needs to come out of the water for the hull to be maintained.Therefore i am looking for the best material to build the hull with to reduce maintenance. A steel hull that is then "sprayed metal" has been suggested. I have also been told that this could last 50 years or more without neding to come out of the water...Any advice would be great....
@flyhighsi im not sure what you mean, but if your removing it from the water after every use, you can use pretty much anything you want. even if your leaving it for the summer you shouldnt have any problems unless you get a crack in the paint and it freezes. then it would be a problem. we used epoxy paint with teflon i think and nothing sticks to it. just soap and water to clean it.
@TheWaldorock Thanks, we are. i think there awesome too. we have them on the inside too for at night. we thought of putting leds under the boat to light it up that way too, but it would of been alot of work and could have leaks so we didnt.
Wow! That is a stunning piece of work! What made you decide to go with twin engines? I'm planning the same sort of project, using a 28 ft. Carolina Skiff hull, and currently struggling with the dual helm issue. I'm in North Carolina, where shallow water is the rule, and groundings are a matter of 'when', rather than 'if'. The greater visibility of the flying bridge is an absolute necessity. Did routing the lines and cables cause lots of trouble?
@AEodoul Thank you!!!! it was alot easier driving. we could get into tighter spots by putting one in forward and one in reverse. oh ok, that sounds cool. ours only drafts about 10 inches of water. yes it is, you can see a ton more with that up there. oh yeah it was, nobody would touch it. we had to do it all ourself. ours was really hard being dual helm and twin motors. we had to run cables and hydrolics to both places from both motors.
Not many vids out there actually showing what they did or how they did it. Need more like this or full episodes, something like "This Old Houseboat". Did notice if I'm not mistaking, that you didn't insulate the walls or roof. Foam/styrene would stiffen the walls up and help on those cold nights.
Would you let us know how much it cost to complete this project or don't your wife want to know?
I plan on doing one but am finding out the motors will cost twice as much (15-25g's) as the houseboat.
@ravenlorans thanks!!!, the boat was in houseboat magazine this year. there is insulation in the walls and roof, i think it was 6" fiberglass in the roof and 1" foil faced foam in the walls. i didnt have any pictures of that being done. i dont remeber forsure but i think it was around 100k for materials and i think that was with the motors also. yeah the motors and controls were the worst with dual helms.
Hey, if you don't mind my asking, what sort of wood did you use for the bottom of the boat there (at 00:52) and how did you secure it to the hull? Beautiful boat, btw.
@notthejaybill we used 1/2" marine plywood and attached it screws. the floor is foam filled and we fiberglassed the entire floor to the hull after that so there are no holes in the floor to let water in. thank you!!!
hey i work at ace harware(saw the ace bag at 8:40) thanks for supporting my job lol. and nice boat ive always wanted one always thought they where really cool
@nightsniper101 do you know a site where i can find the rules and regulations of having one. ive been looking online and i thought they went for alot more than what they do so i think im gonna buy one. anythink i should look for when thinking about buying one. what every i buy i do know its gonna be a project so....
@andrew0901280 i would check on the us coast guards site. the have most of the stuff for that. depends on how you build, if you build from nothing theres alot more things you have to do compared to building one with a hull that has a seriel number.
@nightsniper101 would you happen to know if it matters if you build a running house boat or if you build one with no motor and use a tow boat. because if i buy one i would like to be one it as much as posible and i would like to use like a pontoon platform with no motor to save room for other things
@andrew0901280 yeah it would. having no motor is different than having one. HP makes a difference and so does length for what you have to have on the boat. i'm not sure what you mean after that.
@nightsniper101 ya ive been trying to look up the rules and regulations for michigan but havent found a thing. what diffrences does it make with a non motor set up. and what i ment was if i just build a house boat with no motor on a pontoon platform then it would be alot cheaper alot less work and i would have a little extra space because there would be no wheel house area and no motor. and i already have a boat i can use to put put around a big lake with it
I would live on the boat!!! It is bigger than my first apartment and waaaaaaaaaaayyyy cooler!! I love it!! I bet you and your family are having a blast this summer! Great work and video!
@xXMJPOKERXx well we stay on it for a week usually. thanks!!! oh yeah we have alot of fun on it. do alot of fishing on it. thanks, it was fun to build!!!
@wheel456 haha ya. not really, the beds could be alittle wider on one side but it can be changed pretty easy. thats about it, maybe a little longer sometimes would be nice but the biggest problem is with wind.
no it need all of that. the roof was rotten and the floor was bad. and not much else was good inside. we just wanted the hull from it to build what we wanted.
Wow, that thing is awesome. Nice job on all that work. Best part of all, you actually had the best tunes I have ever heard in a YouTube video. Now days, you have to mute the video just to watch them because the music sucks so bad. Nice job.
damn you got an xbox on that thing? hahaha if you got xbox live ive put money down nobody would believe you if you told them you wer on a house boat in the middle of a lake x].
ya i do, have a 360 too but it uses more power. ya i have xbox live. im working on getting internet on the boat. ya i doubt they would believe it either, lol.
by the way when i was a kid me and my family rented a house boat and yours even though its probably half as big as that one was, is the shit. i would kill a man for you boat x]
I'm impressed. A bit of work you have done. Only another boat builder can appreciate. Great job. You also have to deal with cold weather, adding another challenge. Great job. Only 2 suggestions, get video and a guitar.
thanks. yeah it was winter when we built it, didnt work on it much in the summer, we have a heated shop, so it was easy to work on it. workin on a video, havent had a chance to get the boat and the jetski out at the same time to get some video of how it drives and stuff. why a guitar?
I'm just a fan of home-grown music. Also there is no copyright problems. Just my own preference, I like the music people make as I do their boats. My slide shows have homade music on homade instruments, and a couple of songs I wrote. It's just fun.
No one is at first, you have to stay with it. Just learn a few chords and jam with other people. The more you do it the easier it get. Few things are more rewarding.
ya i'll have another video of some of the fish we caught on there, if you look on my profile, click on fish i caught over the years, some of those fish were caught on here.
how did u know that the boat would not sink with the new improvements ?

The greater visibility of the flying bridge is an absolute necessity. Did routing the lines and cables cause lots of trouble?

Are the walls and the floor 1x4? It looks like the roof is 1x6. I just bought a '73 and am going to do what you did because yours came out so nice.
Thanks, Dave

I'm impressed. A bit of work you have done. Only another boat builder can appreciate. Great job. You also have to deal with cold weather, adding another challenge. Great job. Only 2 suggestions, get video and a guitar.

thanks. yeah it was winter when we built it, didnt work on it much in the summer, we have a heated shop, so it was easy to work on it. workin on a video, havent had a chance to get the boat and the jetski out at the same time to get some video of how it drives and stuff. why a guitar?

I'm just a fan of home-grown music. Also there is no copyright problems. Just my own preference, I like the music people make as I do their boats. My slide shows have homade music on homade instruments, and a couple of songs I wrote. It's just fun.

oh ok i see. thats cool, i tried playin guitar but i wasnt very good.

No one is at first, you have to stay with it. Just learn a few chords and jam with other people. The more you do it the easier it get. Few things are more rewarding.
