Everyone I met along the trip was super friendly and great to talk to. Must be something about the water.

We love your boat. How did you attach the linoleum roofing? Becky wants to know where you found the thingy that you put your kitchen utensils in? Did it come with a cutting board? Love the front rudder idea too! We're gunna watch all of your videos.

Bret Becky Unfortunately the front rudder didn't work. Im not sure where the utinsil container came from. its my wifes. The vinyl on the upper deck is a fiberglass backed "loose lay" vinyl. I just wrapped over edge of floor ab screwed ever inch or so with a large pan head screw.

Yeah, we watched the video about the rudder not working. Probably just needs refined a little.

Greetings Eric, First I want to thank you for taking me on this trip. You won over the lost city of z. Second, You are my kindred spirit. I enjoyed every minute of your adventure. Wish I had made it with you. And lastly, that brings me to.... it's been almost a complete year since your trip, so would you possibly want to join along on a similar trip from Davenport, IA to Chattanooga, TN. Mind you, that there is a possibility of this trip happening, depending on if I win my bid for this boat. It will hopefully happen around the third of October. Let me know.

Andre Sucharew I have around $2000 in the boat and spent around $600 on the trip. That includes fuel, docking fees and food.

Did you make the houseboat yourself? How long is it? How much does it weigh? How many pontoons do you have? I'm asking because I'm interested in building one very similar to yours and I would love to have the plans so mine won't be too top heavy and flip. Great job on the Finn. I'm very impressed!

Yes, I built the boat myself. its a 24 foot 1979 Hartis Kayat. It only has 2 pontoons. I've been thinking about adding a third toon for better boyancy, but it does pretty well as is. I have no idea on the total weight. I added around 900 lbs with the enclosure. She's going back down the river again in sept. or October. I will be making alot of improvements this summer.

I'm in it as well, looked at a 25x8 pontoon last week was in salt water for way too long, needed a lot of rewelding, passed, but will find the right one. remembered your comment on how cold the boat was, not my problem here in south Florida, how did you find the people of the river? friendly and welcoming?

Great boat! How much total weight do you think you added to the original ?
