Living in a real-life 'Waterworld' can be a reality on any one of these hardcore houseboats.
Why live on land when you can live out in the open ocean? Cities are getting crowded and eventually people will be forced to take to the high seas. Beat the pack by being one of the first to take residence in one of these hardcore houseboats. Nobody said being a trend setter was easy. Sometimes you have to get your hands wet.
