In fact I think its superb and with that caravan of yours (do you call them caravans??) it would make a great pair.... I have never seen anything like it... A very good friend of mine lives on a Narrowboat but there is no way you could pull it out the water and htich it up... Hope you get someone to have a look at it and it goes for a song... Good luck.. Will have to show Mrs B... Dave Title: Re: Houseboat check, Ada MI. Post by: jasmine64 on May 25, 2008, 10:32:47 am wow that brings back memories. my uncle had one like that.

The vintage houseboats are great. Sadly survival rate is horrible. They are money pits as well. But Linda wants one and I'm good with that. Here are a couple of pics of really cool houseboats but very few and far between. Creighton Title: Re: Houseboat check, Ada MI.

Sadly with current bids and what it would cost to get to WA. it has gotten too spendy for me. Since you are local and have the equipment to repair the hull, it would be a great project :biggrin: Again Thanks! Creighton |
