My tiny pontoon houseboat walkthrough tour!

[@Patientintime]

You inspired me to buy a pontoon boat I found a 1 bedroom 30' and now I'm living in it with my daughter and my dog. I mite start a vlog like this maybe to show off the cali waters around la. I love fishing out of my backyard lol

[@houseboatgirl4764]

Wow that is amazing I’m so glad!!!! You guys are probably loving it.

[@Patientintime]

@@houseboatgirl4764 yea my daughter loves the water lol I cant get her back in the boat sometimes lol plus my dog joins her lol

[@allywilkeforsenate]

I always wanted to live in a house boat in the Atchalafaya basin♡♡♡

pro trick: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

[@claytonaxl6126]

@Wayne Bruno definitely, been using Flixzone} for months myself =)

Wow, you’re amazing! I just got an apartment with a dock behind it. You’ve inspired me to build a tiny house boat to sleep in and Airbnb my bedroom in my apartment.

Thank you! It’s my favorite spot!

[@vikingcalibur3009]

Use Velcro or magnets on a piece of fabric to use as a curtain for your bathroom window. That way its as flat to the wall as possible and then you are not bumping into the rod. That way you will have more private when showering

[@houseboatgirl4764]

Thanks for your ideas!

[@houseboatgirl4764]

Aw thanks Julia!!

[@juliafaith_06]

Marissa Myer you’re very welcome. 😉 we lived on a boat for a short time a 72 Chris craft power boat. I wanted a sailboat but my fiancé wanted a power boat. We lived on the hook out in Gulfport Florida. I loved it at first but when the first storm hit I was terrified. I think if we would’ve been in a slip it would’ve been fine . Unfortunately I couldn’t find any slips available in our area. We’ve been living in Rv’s for the past 5 years and love it. Unfortunately we’ve been stationary due to working. I want to get a van to travel in though soon. Keep up the great videos !!! 👍😁

That's pretty cool, I live on my sailboat and I hate it when I have to stay on land anymore. I have an RV too but barely ever use it anymore. I love the water too much. Nice to see cute ladies livin the dream like me. You need a water slide of the back.lol I would love to meet a gal like you. I've seen some cool houseboats. I almost bought one on the river in Louisiana. My sailboat will go anywhere though and it has a lot of room, cheap to travel in also. Cheers.

Seems your really enjoying your new HB. It is very cute and great for a one person live aboard. I'm sure your dog likes it as well. Nice Marina, but seems crowded. I live a a 60ft. High Bow Lazyday, 2 bdrms, bath and a half. Vessel is fully loaded. On the St. Johns River here in Florida. I have some ideas that would really take the eyes of others. Plus, a record keeping info.

Very cool video, seems bigger then 24 feet, but it has everything you need, I live on 24 foot Dana sailboat in the Florida Keys, because I have adapted the boat to live aboard it away from a marina, I don't have to stay in one area, I usually sail to the Bahamas in December and return to Florida in June.....

Is the guy who made your boat still making and selling these? And if so could I potentially get a link? I’ve spent the last 3 years living in Busses and RVs and my last was an old 1980 VW vanagon campmobile that ended up breaking down and I’m thinking about trying a houseboat this time!

[@rockeyrocket1224]

Makes me wonder how often the neighbor boats are occupied. Even if there were a conservative estimate of 20% full time occupants it would be a nice quiet place to rent from if the price was low enough.

They’re not right next to me actually! There are people spread out all over my marina. I really love all my neighbors, we are just in close quarters!

Jacob Ernst Good question! I’d have to turn on the generator box. Same with air conditioning. It can be a little loud but works well!

[@GoofieNewfie69]

To save your motor from corrosion and growth(which could foul the impeller) install a power lift and flush with fresh water after use. get it up out of the water unless your'e using it. Tilting it up is ok but lifting

Wow great advice! I’ll get on it!

Wow nice I want a houseboat but I can’t with my daughter

[@bt1vn]

Doesn't make sense if she's old enough to walk she's old enough to wear a life jacket when outside. If shes not you can get childproof gates or just lock or shut the damn doors. You can always get steel sliding doors. Theres no reason you can't do it now unless it's financials or emotional obligation. Oh and no reason not to put a balastrade around the boat and fill it in with plexi glass or mesh or wood or fibreglass or anything else that your mind can think of that is suitable for you and your daighter

[@keje45]

Are you in salt water or fresh? Your engine has anodes that are to be replaced more frequently in salt water. They prevent your engine from rotting away. Do not neglect if you want your engine to last a long time. Maintenance is cheaper than replacement! Plus nobody likes to be towed...

[@houseboatgirl4764]

Salt! It used to be a fresh water boat. My engine is down for the video but usually up! I clean it periodically because with where I am stuff still grows! I couldn’t agree with you more! Thanks for commenting!

[@keje45]

The growth can be controlled by using anti-fouling paint. The anodes (all) should be done now! It's a Honda, which means it is very prone to rot. Not the best choice for salt water, but it's what you got so don't wait. Block anodes and externals. This is advice from someone with 32 years of salt water boat repair experience.
