Hello! Newbie here. My husband is building a one-of-a-kind houseboat, plans designed and fully drawn-up somewhere in his backbrain. He's currently building 8'lx4'h trapezoidal pontoon sections (and bolting them together in tandem in the water; eight down, six to go) for what will be a 56' plywood-hulled catamaran, with house on top and outboard motor aft. It has fallen to me to design the interior, and the question of sanitation has arisen. So, what do y'all think of composting toilets? Any favorite brands or warnings? Our cruising, at least at first, will be along the East Coast, ICW, rivers and bays. I gather, from reading another thread here, that gray water discharge in these waters is ok. Also I'm wonder about hot water, solar or otherwise.

Thanks much for any advice!

Amelia
