Tiny Houseboat update oct12

[@fisheater844]

I’m with you with the turkey, enjoying your build.

[@amphidory7600]

love the radiuses on the framing. elegant detail and brilliant to incorporate a drip edge on the roof ... clearly very well thought out project

[@shanebeaudrot777]

I have enjoyed the videos of your build. I think it's a beautiful boat and I pray your adventures are safe and that you have fond memories each time you set out.

[@shanebeaudrot777]

Oh hey, good to see you again. The boat looks absolutely amazing 👍

[@red-hat-mike]

Thanks for the update. Totally enjoying your build.

Looks great! Quite a lot of progress so far. It’s a bit of a race before the cold weather sets in, but it looks like you’re close to having a protected and insulated space to continue working from.

Nice job

[@bryanmittner6100]

I like the colors! You mentioned removing paneling for wiring ,, what about those stainless button washers ?? Would look nice with wood grain ,,,,

[@LiveDontWatch]

Hey looking good! I like the windows you chose. Looks a little like the GT27 we're building, but with a shorter bow section and less camber in the roof. How long is she overall?

[@ourtinyhouseboat]

thanks for your comment. overall length is 30 feet, trailer is 32 feet

[@ourtinyhouseboat]

given the amount of epoxy and fiberglass you're using, these must be much more affordable than what I can get in Ontario.

@@ourtinyhouseboat Nice! It looks smaller in the video, but I figured it was in that ballpark. Great size! Any idea what the final weight will be?

[@ourtinyhouseboat]

@@LiveDontWatch I think it may end up between 3,000 to 4,000 lbs. Questions for you - how are you going to configure the steering system and how many engines and hp?

[@LiveDontWatch]

@@ourtinyhouseboat I'm probably going to put a wheel at the front of the cabin, with hydraulic lines running aft. We're not trying to get up on a plane, and designer says 25hp will push her at max displacement speed. I'm leaning toward a 40hp just to have a bigger prop with better bite, plus plenty of reserve thrust. I imagine the high sides will catch a lot of wind, so I want to have some extra thrust to help muscle the bow through a headwind, etc. How about yours? What size engine?

[@johnlundquist8855]

How are you going to drain water off the front and rear decks

[@ourtinyhouseboat]

both the front and rear decks have cockpit drains on the port and starboard sides.
