Re: Houseboat
All else aside, how might one launch that from a ramp with the motor hanging down from the tongue like that? Do you A) Jump overboard and lift the motor, B) climb or reach out the window to access that motor, or C) just let the prop drag? It don't look like there's enough room to tilt the motor without hitting the tongue or coupler, and beaching that would no doubt dig that prop into the dirt.
The side pontoons appear to fold up? I see some sort of hinge looking brackets on the side of that thing.
The weight of the trailer frame is probably all that's keeping it upright, plus, I doubt the bottom side of any camper would be very waterproof if submerged, I wonder if they did anything to keep the water from soaking into the floor and insulation of that thing.
I'm sure the fact that it's for sale has a lot to do with the way it looks and floats.
