In reply to MarinaSails. Houseboats aren't really made for that. Too flat and broad for big waves, makes them pretty rocky in rough water.

In reply to BoatyMcBoatface. That's not how any of this works, but I admire the creativity there.

Considering the unpredictability of oceanic weather, how reliable can weather and sea condition forecasts be for such a voyage?

Cross the ocean in a houseboat? Next you’ll tell me we can fly in RVs. Seems like a stretch.

Do these modifications for ocean crossing affect the houseboat’s original functionality? Like, can you still live in it comfortably?

Crossing the ocean on a houseboat sounds like an adventure of a lifetime, amazing how far we’ve come!

What if we just put a giant motor on a house and called it a day? Zoomin across the ocean in my living room sounds epic.

Always thought the ocean was too rough for houseboats, this makes a lot of sense.

could you imagine crossing the ocean and bumping into a whale wonder what the whale would think

Thinkin about hull reinforcement sounds smart but what about the extra weight? Wont that cause more issues in stability??

Hey Jonathan Holmes, was thinkin, how do houseboats deal with big waves? Don’t they get tossed around a lot?
