    The easy answer is to put a small travel trailer onto a barge hull, block it level and tie it down. Roll it off when you are done.

    Ok,but would it be possible to do it without a trailer,as this is quite a large (approx 18'-36') depending on wether i fit a multi hull that is detachable (eg.one hull behind the other connected with some sort of rod)
