Brilliant,I am hoping to build something similar here in the UK.
Pontoon boats are not so good here as the canals are small and the bridges are low.
A narrow boat is a typical 1600mm (5 feet) air draught.
I am working on a topside that can go up and down to accommodate this.

Cool. One thing about building a boat is that you can make it fit your needs as long as you stay within the laws of physics.
