Floating homes already exist world wide and in this country in many locations. Who chooses this alternative? Those who don't want to spend the time or money to own waterfront property. This is a new Hybrid. A combination houseboat that can move under it's own power, and a floating home with all the comforts and conveniences.The applications are limitless. Use one as an office. Moor it off your waterfront property as extra living space or even for rent. Acquire a non-buildable waterfront lot, and moor your houseboat there instead of building a fixed structure.
