    Anyone out there ever build a Shanty Boat? I was surfing around and came across plans and pictures on the "shanty boat page", also some old atkins plans ["retreat"]. I got to thinking this would be about the most relaxing form of boating possible.A welded aluminum scow hull about 8'x20',build your house on top,you got your wood stove,bunk,all the creature comforts,and waste your life away... just like in the good old days.
