As a person who grew up on the Great Lakes and has known people who live on their boat:

1) Houseboats of any kind have a much higher chance of causing carbon monoxide death.

2) Notice how flat the water is. It's never that flat unless you are on a pond with no boat traffic on a windless day.

3) It's not hydrodynamic whatsoever. This is the result of an architect making a boat. It will never get up on plane and plow through water like a bulldozer. That's going to cost a pretty penny not to mention probably flood the front of it. This is aside from the fact it won't be able to get out of the way of frieghters and other boats when it's floating around and doesn't have a traditional hull design so who knows if pods or bow thrusters will work on it.

4) This thing will drive slower than a sailboat. Hope you have a weekend and a half free to take it anywhere.

5) The swim platform is attached. There's no hoist of any kind nor does it descend into the water. How are you going to put your dingys on it. You don't drag them behind you.

6) THE BRIDGE. WHERE IS IT?

7) THE RUNNING LIGHTS, RADAR, NAVIGATION, RADIO - WHERE ARE THEY?

8) The thing will flood the first time it's out becuase the equivalent of gunwhales are too low.

9) THE CLEETS - WHERE ARE THEY? Good luck tying this thing off anywhere! Good luck having people tie off to you! You'll never be able to put a boat - even with bumpers - along this things guitar pick shape without risking damaging both boats.

10) That jacuzzi is going to spill over onto the deck the first time out and flood everything - probably going down into the hold due to the big skylight in the center (WHICH WILL ALSO COLLECT RAIN BTW...). Have you ever seen a pool even halfway full on a cruise ship? There's a reason they don't let you use it while in rough water!

So, basically, if you want somebody to take your money go buy an old tugboat. They're 60 feet long, cheap, float, slow, and have lots of room. Put some solar panels on it. Done.

Aren't all boats kind of a floating island already?
