So you could get a 60' house boat and actually have more space than a 80' hatteras. Also at 60' I would not worry about waves even tho it is a house boat.
I have always wondered why there are not any big ones on this lake like you see out west.

This is a great question. Does anyone have any knowledge in this area? Based on birchhaven's response I found

Most of the examples I have found with these house boats seem to be on lakes that are like glass; at least in all of the images and videos I've come across. I know the broads are anything but glass.
Does anyone know how these things do in some decent lake chop?
It would certainly solve the launching issue since it could be trucked in in pieces and assembled at the lake. Thoughts?
