Basic Pontoon Houseboat frame

Where do you go to buy a basic houseboat pontoon frame in order to start building my own houseboat? That is the question- I know what I want to do- as always, getting started is the difficult part.

Tell me if this makes sense- I want to buy a medium size (end product is 32-36 ft) pontoon house boat that I can "build out" to the houseboat I want (by the way, I think that's a good business idea in of itself). I'd like to hear back from all of you and thanks.

Dave, that's a popular question since many of our readers are also considering building their own houseboat.

From what I've seen, U-Fab www.u-fabboats.com/ appears to manufacture a good set of pontoon tubes of different sizes and styles.

Hopefully some of our readers will post comments about where to also find some houseboat pontoons.
