Not a bad idea. 20 years ago, I almost bought an old landing craft, around
45' with twin stern drives, army surplus. I
I thougth of buying the landing craft, put a small motor home on it and
travel down the ICW that way.
It would have been ideal for what you describe. Maybe you should check US
governement surplus auctions.

Does anyone have any plans for a barge that would comfortably float a
36 foot camper chained to the deck. Prefer wood with glass over than
steel, but nothing is set in concrete. Plan to use it as a summer home
as property is so expensive. Drive it on in late spring, drive it off
in mid fall. Thanx.

Jacques idea sounds good. There is an outfit in Portsmouth, VA that
sells surplus landing craft. I've seen several converted to house boats
over the years. They are very sturdy and many come with diesels that
are rebuildable.
