'glamping it' is my wifes total preference. me? even in a downpour, I can still sleep on the pontoon.

......

Though my pontoon has a fiberglass top which covers over a 3rd of the aft, I’d still break out one of these if it was raining. I’ve been soggy before. It’s not fun

This “looks” like it’d do the job. Now if it would be long enough...
You just need to get up off the deck a few inches so the water can run
under the tent. Some kind of pallet sort of thing a little smaller
than the tent should work. Then the water would run off and under the
floor of the tent. A nice Marriott is better tho ;-)

Or maybe a Grand Banks trawler... :-)

Maybe Harry would sell his. It's most likely much better than a Grand Banks. Do *you* have twin
Volvo diesels powering that thing?

Of course not. 'Airree is one of the only people I've ever heard of
that waxes poetic over Volvo diesels, probably because he's never
owned one. They have a reputation for being finicky and very
expensive to service.

Nowadays the diesel of choice for long range trawlers is John
Deere/Lugger. John Deere builds them and Lugger marinizes. MANs are
popular for higher horsepower boats although Caterpillar and Cummins
are also in that market. The big Detroit Diesels that were once the
gold standard for sportfish and motor yachts can't meet modern
emission standards. There are still a lot of them around however
because they can be rebuilt in place.
