Here's my Shantydock project. An 8'x16' swim platform with an arched roof.
Here are my reprints of plans for Cool Water. A 1940's getaway houseboat on a $70 budget!
Here's a page where I explore a possible framing plan and materials estimate for small shantyboat.
Here's a "minishantyboat" by Jim Michalak called Harmonica. (this link is off my site)
