The interior of the vessel is not finished yet and it has no propulsion, but Rick thinks it might be done by the end of summer, other work permitting. He's tied the canal boat alongside his floating boat shop, to have it handy for those slack moments in a days schedule. Who am I kidding? Rick has been working on this project in overtime hours for over a year, with help from his two sons. Needless to say, he's a hard working, detail oriented man and this sweet little canal boat is proof.
We'll be watching this project for updates.

I want one. But one berth needs to be longer than six feet.
I know Rick has redesigned the interior of his version, but not enough of it is finished for me to tell how long the berths are - a six foot berth would not work for a lot of people these days, so would be a huge drawback!
Any updates on this boat? Would love to stay on it but an Internet search didn't produce any hits. Thank you.
Dan, I've been remiss in following up on the Canal Boat. Rick is booking nights on his floating home. You can reach him by email: rjboatguy(at)gmail or
call 54one-27zero-3135.
Thanks a bunch!
