Why do cars require gas?

Do house boats require a lot of annoying gas like cars?

  • Do house boats require a lot of gas like cars? IF so are there still ships/house boats that flow on wind and not gas like in past before gas existed?

  • Answer:

    There are House Boats and then there are Live Aboard Vessels, there is a difference. A House Boat, usually is a flat bottom barge with a structure built on it. Barges are normally not stable in seas. They require a Push Boat or Tug Boat to move them and those use much fuel. If you have to ask the price, you cannot afford it. One thing is certain, prices rise, is almost a continuing constant. If the vessel is 30' and she travels with current and no wind, under her own power, that is a gallons per hour equation.

I know of 3 kinds of houseboats: float homes that are floating houses and go nowhere, so need no gas. Houseboats that are a kind of floating RV on a lake and probably get worse mileage than a car, and live-aboards that are a regular boat, possibly a sailboat, that people are living on full-time. Most sailboats now have an auxiliary engine for when there is no wind. Some harbours do not allow sailing and require the use of an engine - or probably just some means of propulsion that does not involve tacking backwards and forewards across other traffic. My 32ft sailboat has a 65 litre tank and needs filling every other day if there's no wind and I'm motoring all day at 5kn. It sleeps 2 in relative comfort or 5 who don't mind moving their stuff anytime they want to lie down and don't mind falling over each other all the time.
