OMG, the SeaShell project takes much more time than expected. Anyway, there are some more boats to show, so let's go.
COBO1215
This is my try to create a really cheap Houseboat. And I could not beleve how cheap it is... full equipped it costs you only about 70'000 Euros (all the prices I offer for the boats are only roughly calculated)! For a 15m long and 5m wide boat this is a very good price, but - this price is without mounting work - because it is a kit-boat.
But it's a simple work to mount this boat: the hull is built from a modular pontoon system with a steal frame on it. And on top of the frame you put the house. And this is just as simple as writing it, because the house consists of two sea containers.
You say you can not cut metal and you can not weld something? Hey, learn it by building this boat!
So, I beleve you now figured out what COBO means - right, COntainer BOat. And 12 is the length of the house - 12m and 15 the length over all - 15m.
As all of my boats COBO1215 has an electric propulsion and all the electric energy you will ever need on this houseboat is generated by the pv system and two wind turbines.
COBO1215 offers plenty of room for 4 persones: there are two bedrooms with a kingsize bed in each, a big bathroom with shower, bathtube, toilet, sink and a towel heater.
In the big kitchen you will find all the space you need to cook a good meal, a fridge-freezer, a dishwasher, a inductive stove an a big workplate for preparing the fishes you cathed.
The livingroom offers 10m2 for spending time if the wether conditions are bad. But if the sun is shieing, you can go upstairs on the sundeck. There you have a awsome sight over the water where you are navigating on and you have all the space you need for relaxing, bbq, reading a book or just sunbathing.
COBO1215 has not the 100% autarky as the two bigger boats LUXPLORER and LUXEMOTOR. This means, you have to refill freshwater (1000l) and you have to pump out the black (500l) and grey (500l) water tanks. But these tanks are big enough for spending many carefree days!
There is one limitation: COBO1215 is too high for some of the old bridges over the french canals. Apart from that just enjoy your time on COBO1215!
