Re: who would like to live in a houseboat?
You're absolute right, non of my boats will be built without consulting experts before and, perhaps, redo the whole work...
The big streams in Europe, specialy the Rhein and the Donau assume that you have special licences to navigate on for certain sections. And in most cases these licences costs too much money and time for one trip on the stream. And often you need a licence for your boat too to be alowed to run the boat on this stream.
I do not no exact numbers, but I beleve most of the house boats in Europe are not certified for the Rhein and almost all of their owner have no licence to navigate the Rhein with this big boats so why spend money for only a few percents of possible customers. If they need this possibility, we can always switch to more power - with a hybrid system or a bigger battery bank.
