Aft of Eden

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
  

1. Small outboard 10-20HP
   
2. Volvo inboard stern drive  salvaged from a ski boat
   
3. 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
