1913 barge houseboat

Hello All!

Happy to meet you!

We don't own a watercraft presently, but are considering keeping a 1913 barge houseboat in the family. We would need to move it from its current location (not sure to where or how since it's 106' x 21' with 2 floors.) Also needs a new barge in order to be seaworthy. We think the plan is crazy enough that it might just work!

All the best ~

Re: 1913 barge houseboat

Welcome to CruisersForum!

I would suggest updating your profile with your boat make & model or “Looking” in the "Boat" category. This info shows up under your UserName in every post in the web view. Many questions are boat and/or location dependent and having these tidbits under your UserName saves answering those questions repeatedly. If you need help setting up your profile then click on this link: https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...ml#post3308797

I would happily help more if the link above is not enough.

Dliz3030 tell us more, steel riveted construction or timber? Obviously, you're from the Rothschild or similar family with an old vessel that size.
Cheers
