Well I can't see this working on a canal as you would damage those flat sides if you went through a lock without fenders (fenders in a lock )

 

£15,000?

 

And the addition of a toilet is described as "pimping it up"

"Park up on the other side of the lake!"

 

And how does it get out of the water the other side of the lake?

This IFO (Identified Floating Object) is only 5'3" wide, so the use of fenders in a lock would be without any danger.

Looks like somebody has reinvented the wheel, or in this case the Caraboat.

 

I strongly suspect it'll be subject to the same problems that the Caraboat had with submerged towbar and wheels/bearings, plus even for a dayboat it's not very well equipped (it'll need a lot of batteries if it's using electricity for propulsion and cooking, or have an exceptionally short range).

Don't think many if these will sell, but great website. Lots of ideas of things to buy for people who have everything!!

Actually if the Caraboat is used as intended, short periods in the water the bearings only require the same maintanance as any boat trailer thats a strip and repack once a year, and my Caraboat is still operating with the original hitch after 40 years, also the caraboat hitch folds up neatly whilst cruising whereas the sealander seems to stick out at the front rather like the Creighton Gull don,t think thats ideal around other boats, and as you say poorly equipped

Can't you pull it behind your NB as a canalavan? Or think of it as the boot you don't have on your NB. I think it would hold just about all of my shoes.
