House Boat Plans

===>> Click here to get all your boat plans now! <<===

House boat plans can be hard to find. Especially if you don’t have an architect of boat builder friend and designer. I didn’t. In fact when Maggie my wife and I decided we want to retire out on a houseboat we didn’t really know anything about boat building or boat plans at all. I’d been on the odd boat, but never had any sailing experience.

And we were a little bit nervous, we were going to spend a bunch of money on a house boat and we didn’t’ really know what to look for. I mean how do you figure out what to look for when buying a house boat? It’s not the same as a car.

And once we had figured that part out we wanted to figure out house boat plans so that we could make it into something nicer and more livable for us. We had a great boat, but we wanted to give it our own touch. After a lot of searching I found this great website that has all the boat plans you could ever need for a few lifetimes.

In fact, if I had found it earlier I might even have been inclined to try and build my own house boat! But that would have been quite a big project. But if you’re looking to build your own boat then check out this site. They have catamaran plans, dinghy plans, skiff plans, wooden boat plans and of course houseboat plans. This is certainly a terrific resource if you want to build your own boat.

I shared with you in an earlier post that I have a friend who is building a yacht. I shared this resource with him and he loves their boat building plans. His yacht is coming along nicely and I’m looking forward to spending some good times on it.

Wooden boat building is easy with this website. I built my grandson a little plywood boat that is about 2 feet long and looks identical to our house boat. In fact I took the house boat plan and just scaled it down to get it just right. He always brings it along when he comes to visit us and we tow it behind as we sail out of the harbour. He loves it.

I’ve used the house boat plans or actually, the house boat floor plans to renovate the inside of our little house boat. It took me over a year to do it, just tinkering away. We were living in the houseboat after all. But the house boat floor plans were very easy to follow. This is what I love about these house boat plans I’ve found. The fella has written them clearly and concisely so that they are easy to follow. Lots of pictures too. For me that really helps.

So whatever kind of boat plans you’re looking for, from yacht plans to skiff plans and house boat plans. Do you yourself a favor and have a look at this resource. I wish I had it earlier, it would have saved me a ton of time.

Happy sailing,

Hello there, I wanted to share with you how I got started in finding the house boat plans that I needed to really spruce up my houseboat. It’s been a long time coming that my wife and I were able to afford a house boat and then retire out here on Vancouver Island on our house boat.

We had to look for something cheap, as we both haven’t earned a lot of money and we needed something that would help allow us to live the dream of house boating but at the income level we could afford. We’ve raised 3 kids and as you know, that can be expensive! But we love them.

Anyway, Maggie and I found a nice 1987 Sumerset Houseboat 62 footer that has 2 great bedrooms and all the amenities we would want. This way we can have friends and family stay with us when they’re out visiting on the Island. It only cost us $79k 5 years ago but we searched long and hard for a deal like that. Plus it did require a little bit of TLC. I’ve put another $15k into it mostly redoing the house boat floor plan.

It’s been a lovely project and we’ve spent the last 5 years living here on it and we just love this lifestyle. I started this blog to share with all my house boating friends I’ve made over the years, tips and tricks that I’ve learned in house boating. Even if you’re just interested in wooden boat building or yacht plans or even plywood boat plans you’ve come to the right place. House boat plans are crucial in finding the best way to develop your house boat to it’s fullest potential.

As a kid I used to build little boats and sail them on the ponds around town. I’d develop these rudimentary house boat plans. It was a wonderful way to spend my summers. To build a boat is very rewarding I’m sure you know what I mean. It doesn’t matter if it is a small dinghy or even a house boat or as in my case just a little miniature boat. But the thing is, you’ve got to build a boat using a proper boat plan. This will make your efforts so much easier and more enjoyable.

I have a friend who is building his own yacht now with the advice I gave him on where and how to find a proper yacht plans. It’s coming along nicely, and I can’t wait to spend some time on it! But back to house boat plans and where to find them.

Happy Sailing,
