I am thinking about buying a house boat to live on. My question is what do I need to look for when buying a house boat. How hard are they to maintain. I will be looking for a used one. Thanks shawn
It's on lanier.
Bless your heart ...
Keep in mind if you live on it full time, and it's a COE lake, you cannot legally have any firearms onboard, even with a GWL.
I lived on a few over the years and it all sounds great but theres a few drawbacks, keep in mind you will have to have it hauled every five years and service and do maintenance on the drives and hull, , Depending on the age of the boat and the length and width it can cost from 5 to 8K to do this, plus all the other cost mentioned above, living on a house boat sounds like fun but they are expensive to dock and maintain and they aint insulated or built like a house, they can get mighty cold in the winter.
Hows that? we can duck hunt coe lakes?? There is a steel hull on west point for 3k. 50 plus feet.
