Futuristic Decked-Out Houseboats

The Scenic ARKKI Boat from Janne LeppäNen

I hope I'm on the ARKKI Boat when the whole world ends up underwater. This design from Janne Leppänen is perfect for someone like me who wouldn't mind living on a boat -- provided that it has a large front porch.

The front porch on the ARKKI Boat is actually constructed of solar panels, which charge the boat's electrical engine. A solar-powered boat with a front porch is something I can certainly dig. I look forward to the coming of the water world.
