i'd like to buy plans for a static 70-85 foot wide-beamed houseboat (in fact
to create a restaurant).
any suggestions please?

Since you'll have to extensively remodel it anyway, why not start with
a used commercial barge and build on top ?

it's an idea, thanks, but it may not be wide enough and i'd have to
transport it. i was thinking of building something alongside my bit of
water.
and where does one find used barges? I'm in England.

there's one on the Shannon in Ireland, a barge converted to a restaruant,
that is. I saw it on a tourist video.

There's one for sale around Clear Lake, TX. Was a LA auto ferry, converted
to a bar/restaurant and it's for sale. Search for "Blue Marlin" and if you
can't find it, let me know and I'll jot down the number next time I pass by.
