Floating Boathouse

I am seriously kicking around the idea of building/buying a floating boathouse for my cottage, has anyone ever used/built one? I have head a lot of good things about them and wondered if they where available as a "kit" or if there was anyone on the board here that built them? Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Not sure how much shipping would be to Canada but this has got to be the Love Shack...lol...

LOL! I am actually looking for a "boat house", NOT a "house boat"! I have heard a few people claim its MUCH easier to get permits, etc for a floating boathouse as opposed to a "permanant" boathouse. I guess because "technically" they aren't permanant, the styles I have seen use 2 long floating "tubes" like you would see on a river barge and then they build the boathouse on top of it, float it into your dock/shoreline and secure it, and your all set. I just need to get a little more info about them.

Thanks for the link to the Loveshack! LOL, it looks like a pretty happenin' pad, but, my wife wouldn't like it and I would be "cut off" for [another] month, LOL!

Michael, there is a floating boathouse across the river from you in Millens bay. It is the boathouse with the green roof.
