Cheap Trailerable TSB Houseboating

Hello...
See enclosed - can anyone see where I am going with this...
$4750 a piece - two ready to go now...
$6.85 a square foot for 5086 3/16 5x20 aluminum sheet...
Got a motor...
Absolutely no way to make it pretty...
One in the yard for office - one on a TSB set of pontoons for river cruising...
Very interesting but possibly STUPID...

I cannot see the need for side decks...

Sliding windows will give access to cleats for fenders and other and increase interior space...

Looking good - tomorrow - when I stop balling my eyes out about that little **** rat that slept at my head - euphemised my cat today - I will work up some TSB pontoons from 5x8 5086 aluminum - well maybe...
Thank you again for your input - I have had a **** year - but all is still good...

If you have access or boat on inland water lakes or rivers I wouldn't trade off my pontoons for a hull design. My boat moves along just fine without any tracking issues involved at the relaxing trolling speeds we usually run. And our boat also gets real nice fuel economy as a added bonus because we don't have to push her remain on plain.
