I can see it now...Gary and a 75 foot pontoon boat with 8 Mercury 250HP outboards cruising the Chesapeake. Enough room for several more kids, and two more dogs. And, just think of the antenna farm you could put on that!!
I saw one today on Lake Kalamazoo up here in Michigan. It had 5 'toon's under it. :wow: It looked like one large party barge. I think I saw at least 3 grills on it. I pointed it out to my wife as we drove buy it, she just laughed.
There's a guy in our area who builds 2-story cabins/houses on barrels. He's on his second one. On the first floor, there's an area to park a boat in between the barrels, under a section of the house above. It's just like a carport. There's trash cans out there and stuff like that. In the middle, there's a large living area, or so it seems. On the other end there's an out door patio area. Up stairs, there's more rooms and a deck that over-looks the back end. It has a steel roof.
Inside I've heard that it's kind of rough. The bathroom is a throne with a big bucket underneath. There are a couple of air-conditioning units in the windows.
He builds big, floating cabins, but he doesn't care what they look like.
