I'm planning to buy a live aboard houseboat in the next year or so, and this information is invaluable. Thank you.

I love this series of videos but I have to say there are some inconsistency for example diesels will out last gasoline engine by a long shot mostly due to diesel being a lubricant and are more powerful due to high energy density of this fuel. Note there's more energy in diesel fuel then gasoline

[@houseboats1013]

You are correct about diesel containing more energy than gasoline - my mistake. However, lifetime of the two types is less significant in a boat as the rest of the boat (hull, outdrives and superstructure) will limit the life span of the whole vessel.

Hi, how are you? I bought a Stardust 50 and water is coming in from underneath, the wooden floor is all rotten and can be repaired.

Sounds like you might have a “steely” with corrosion issues. Remember, they rust out from the inside - not the outside which is always in the water. 😢
