Be sure and look at Absolute Absolution under The Rafts...no sailing experience necessary!!!! Maybe I'll crew!!!

Supposedly Son of Town Hall is unsinkable...water moves freely in and out of the hull which is composed of material that floats, unlike a traditional boat made with a watertight hull to keep it afloat.

Really interesting site...

can't wait to haere this answer...

LOL...good question ...I thought somebody might wonder about that. Well, it WAS a rather odd idea that I was searching the web for...I have this idea to build a portable houseboat on a catamaran style frame. The basic idea: the two hulls would be inflatable pontoons with a rigid frame on top...then a tent or screen room attached to the frame for sleeping/cooking...you could go out onto the bays of Baja for a few days at a time!!! As you might guess, nobody makes anything like that...I was searching for components...and that's how I came across that website.

Interesting bunch of people. I just helped some of these travelers convert a school bus into a vegetable oil fueled camper.

Very resourceful......that's for sure.

Talk about a perfect site for VIKINGVince ...that's it...so Jonathan, what will I get you out on?... the Drakkar or the portable houseboat?

hinoranger...you mean the very people from that website? Cool...one would expect them to have biofuel!

[hinoranger]

No, sorry- not literally those exact same people, just their tribal cousins here in Minnesota. Some of them actually did take similar craft down the Mississippi last summer.

I was reminded what a value a carefully chosen used school bus can be. They picked up DT466 powered 38ft bus with air ride suspention in very good running order and average exterior condition for less than $1500, about half or a third of a what box truck with the same running gear would cost.

Not great off-road, but a ton more ground clearance than an RV, for comparison.

Hey Vince, my last name is Hanson, after all. I'll take the longship. Although my wife claims she's going to give me a flaming Viking funeral in my sea kayak. I don't know: Somehow burning fiberglass just wouldn't have the same dramatic effect . . .
