It all started with building a model out of foam core. My idea was to build a boat that had the following features.
- Flat bottom
- Landing Craft (Higgins Boat) style bow.
- Sleeping area above
- Large foredeck to accommodate a small car, golf cart or other utility vehicle which can be utilized when the boat beaches.
- Two or three means of propulsion
- Small outboard 10-20HP
- Volvo inboard stern drive salvaged from a ski boat
- Jet pump salvaged from a Ski Doo and powered by a large electric motor, Ski Doo engine or chain/belt driven from the Volvo
- Self contained which means a source of electricity (solar), on board fresh water tank, bathroom with on board holding tank, shower, cooking stove.
- Able to be transported, launched and retrieved quickly and efficiently any where there is a launch site accessible by road.
- Self
