    converting a movable houseboat

I would definitely look long and hard at the 'movable' part of this equation. I have only a little more experience with houseboats than you do and my understanding is they're 'movable' the way a 'mobile home' is movable.

I would also counsel you to speak to a number of boat owners about maintenance and upkeep because most boat guys are not precious with their gear and any object that spends its life at the boundary between air and water consumes more maintenance than the average Gaggia.

Other than that fuck yeah sounds like an awesome idea.

I accept that it's an ill idea, fraught with financial peril.

At this point it's in an exploratory committee phase.

Seconded. cgod, this sounds like a cool idea. Feasible? Not sure, but most definitely cool. Good luck. Report back what you find and Merry Christmas!
