Hi ElGringo, We're still working on the site, probably help if I enabled the contact form huh? Sorry bout that! It shows to be working now, just...

Well, In the dictionary shanty means a small crudely built dwelling, so a shantyboat would therefore mean a crudely built boat, and that is a part of it, up to a point.

First...THANKS to the crew over there at "Tiny: The Movie" (an in-the-works documentary- which I'm part of) for such kind words in a post related to my NEW "Humble Homes, Simple Shacks" book in conjunction with the new Lloyd Kahn Tiny Houses Book (which I'm also in!). That made my day. Here's the post... http://tiny-themovie.com/tiny-house-books-coffeetable/#comment-575 Thanks to Mike Percuoco from our Tiny Housing Facebook group for passing on word about this issue. THE NEW ISSUE OF "WOODEN BOAT" MAGAZINE- WELL WORTH THE COIN.... As for the Shantyboat/Houseboat- check these out! I also stopped at Barnes And Nobles the other day to pick this new magazine issue up (Wooden Boat Magazine), and while browsing in the "Home Reference" section, I was shocked to see that they already were carrying my book! Almost two weeks ahead of its release date too- no complaints there! Thanks to Kathie Bendix for sending a BnN photo below. I later went back to the same store en route to band rehearsal to sign all the copies, and all had sold already. Thank you! The book keeps kickin' butt in the Amazon "Carpentry" Category- hitting #1 worldwide a few times now. Its still hard to believe....If your local bookstore doesn't carry it, please ask them to. Thanks! Benjamin Guy is the owner of this boat- from the MA area- Ben, if you ever come across this post- contact us- we'd LOVE to feature/film this boat for our "Tiny Yellow House" show.... -Derek "Deek" Diedricksen

Here are 16 DIY Pontoon Boat Plans to build, plus some additional plans for you to customize into your own boat.

Is it hot in here, or is it just me? I spent a rainy Felton afternoon checking out shanty boat info on the World Wide Web. While there are many amazing photos and stuff, today boat plans are making me hot. Check this shit. This is the Escargot Canal Cruiser, designed by Phil Thiel of Seattle. I

My biggest gripe about shantyboat design is that most of them are nothing more than modified boxes. Totally uninspired. Houseboats, in general, are little better. Floating homes offer more creativi…

Many of the threads in this forum justity an effort to design a floating home or house boat for retirees and middle income families. One thing that...

The Escargot, with its simple construction—just two curves, the cabin roof and the bottom of the hull—gave him the confidence that he’d stay with the project until its completion. And the lumberyard materials would keep the cost within his budget.
