I lived on a sailboat for 2 years as a teen and my discomforts were all in the shower department. How are the generator/water systems? Space is one thing-and something that one gets as a free perk of living on the water rather than jammed into standard housing, but utilities are quite another.

The only benefit I can see to these off-hand is that they are bigger and more 'house-like' than the common houseboat. 2. I wonder if these will be taxed as 'property', i.e. land if they become more prevalent. Are houseboats taxed as real property in any of the countries where they are common? 3. Could the effort into making these be better put into making a modern houseboat. Well, thinking it over I’ve reached the following conclusions:
