Amphibious Driving Houseboat - First Launch
Ғылым және технология
The first ever launch/test of the amphibious driving houseboat, "Beast Of Burden." A detailed documentation of the day's event, sharing the emotion and excitement faced, as Captain Theon Parseghian risked it all.
Big thanks to everyone for coming out to the launch and sharing the experience. Sorry took so long to get this up.
"You can do anything you want to do. This is your world." - Bob Ross
The appropriately named “Beast of Burden,” is a merger between a 32ft houseboat (1967 Jeffboat Sunliner) and a 3-wheel tractor (Rickel “Big-A” Sprayer). Built by Theon of Theonomics. No rational reason why, he just thought it’d be cool.

You should sell your plans to a french boat company that specialises in amphibious boats for oyster harvesting on the coast. Your house boat could be a most welcome Addition to their product Range.
Suuuuuper cool man wow never even thought this would be possible! I live on a 42’ Sunliner that got imported into The Netherlands. Super special to see you made something even more unique out of this allready unique boat!!
Whimsical and awesome. I am so impressed. Thanks for doing this and sharing it.

I love people who create outside of the box . Just brilliant ! Hope you have plans to make an off road expedition truck boat ?
Awsome job sir! Definitely something to be proud of!
UNBELIEVABLE!
So the sprayer was driving with the one wheel forwards but this the opposite. How did you make it so forward is drive and backwards is reverse

Yes correct. It's easier than it seems to change the direction with a transfer case. Check out our video about "how it works" to learn some more. Appreciate the interest.
Really good project looks like it turned out nice!
Great job brought tears to my eyes! Should be lots of family fun! Congratulations

Hi an amazing project and build. Going to be a lot off fun with your family. I was thinking would it move better through the water if the front wheels were driving so they would be like paddle wheels?
@theonomicsbuilds6133

Thank you! So far everyone's had a blast on it! The front wheels propel it a little, but not enough to justify the extra slashing they cause. It's certainly not built for speed, but I think it'll be better if I can find a way to streamline the rear wheel/rudder.

Yes it dose well for a house boat. No need to get there in a hurry.
Do the wheels cause much of a drag in the water or do you have fenders or covers over the front to deflect it? Great design, should rent it out!
Very nice very interesting beautiful sailing.
Awesome!!
Nice boat
This is so cool!! im glad I stumbled across the video

That's cool !! Different to say the least. Guess that's what you get when you X a monster truck with a houseboat. Doesn't have to worry about getting stuck on a sand bar.
This is awesome!

This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. Did you have to completely redo the boat? Most of these only houseboats seem like they are in terrible shape
@theonomicsbuilds6133

Really appreciate that, thanks! The boat was in pretty bad shape overall, the biggest issue being rusted/leaking bottom. It actually made for a great candidate, because to put the frame/axle in place, called for lots of cutting and welding new sheet metal on. If you haven't seen them yet, you might enjoy some of my other videos documenting the build process.

You should find a way to hydraulically lift the rear tire, and hydraulically lower rudders.

Yea it really needs something like that, gonna look at changing a few things in the spring. Obviously it's not built for speed or efficiency, but it'd be nice to improve those aspects.

Nice Bro. 1 day you will see a video on my you the launching of an amphibious type boat but at a very lesser cost.. Regards Bro...
wow he even took fans for a ride!
"Oh, honey we're out of oranges" *precedes to drive house to the store*
They say the area may get television beamed in within two years and they already have their own crooked Town Hall.
Like that...
Turn the wheels so the treads are going the other direction. Might help more in the water.
Dude how much cost it taken?

About $10,000. But it also took many hours of work.

You hit it out of the ballpark. Great job. I’m sure there was excitement , fear and tension as you were going into the water. Totally dig the setup.

Thanks, it was a surreal experience. Never expected that kind of crowd, figured maybe a dozen friends/family, so that made the launch extra nerve-racking.

we have a boat with the same engine but marine configuration, at 1750 rpm we cruise a 9 knot and use 24 litres per hour so it would be roughly the same.
