Tiny Floating Homes: Turn a neglected boat into a comfortable tiny home

by Chris Troutner

This is not a book about sailing. It is about living on a boat, whether or not that boat ever leaves the dock. Living on a boat has never been easier, cheaper, or more accessible. The plethora of propane appliances, high-tech insulation, GPS navigation, long-range Wi-Fi, and inexpensive solar panels and generators makes amassing the personal infrastructure necessary to sustain your life child's play compared to the obstacles of the past. The biggest hurdles are purchasing the right equipment and assembling them in the right order. This book will help you with both.This book is written for those people intrigued by boats and tiny houses. People who aren't afraid to read a book, watch a few YouTube videos, then roll up their sleeves and try their best. There is no 'right way' to turn a boat into a tiny home. Heck, the very concept of 'level' doesn't even exist on a boat. As long as the structural integrity of the boat is sound, your only limit is your creativity and willingness to put the 'sweat equity' into your own affordable, environmentally friendly, waterfront home.The creative outlet that boat restoration provides makes your home uniquely yours and generates a great pride of ownership. When I ask boat owners 'What's new?' on their boat, their pride in the fruits of their labor always shines through the conversation. Restoring a boat into a home allows even the humblest of liveaboards to dream of one day cutting the dock lines and living 'out there'. Free of moorage fees, immersed in nature, taking responsibility for their life and enjoying the freedom to do so.
