It looks very inviting as a live aboard for the summer mths and even anytime through out the yr as long as it wasn't too cold. A trip to Qld via the rivers would be an interesting trip 8-) Is it possible?

It will be interesting to have a second look through the photo album when it has the description tags attached. I do love the 240vac power lead plugged in beside the solar regulator, any bets on how long it takes Peter to pick up on that one ;) :lol:
That regulator will stop the batteries from going flat, but it won't fully charge them unless it has a couple of weeks without the batteries being used to do it. It only has a single voltage setting and that is float voltage, but better than nothing at the moment.
The battery arrangement is interesting, are they spread out throughout the vessel for stability :lol:

Just as soon as that rich uncle I don't know about leaves all his money to me I might look at one of them for myself, well both of us, an ultra light with pods on it towed along behind for a look around the country side....... If I don't know about this rich uncle, how will he know to leave all his money to me????

No ropes on a houseboat, unless you have a ships bell ;) Bruce, now that you have joined the ranks of the nautical types, you have to get with the program, no left and right sides anymore, no front and back :)

Just blue on the water up here :shock: Apparantly the use of red ones is against the Internation Regs for the prevention of collisions at sea
