Houseboat INSIDER - are YOU prepared for houseboating? August 31, 2013 |
| Hello It's the end of August and the kids are likely heading back to school, and most of the summer vacations are winding down. There's still plenty of great weather for boating and anchoring out, and don't forget to enjoy the long Labor Day weekend :)
Bring your Toys !!! One of my boating neighbors just purchased a PWC, a new Sea-Doo three seater. What a beautiful machine, fully equipped, and so practical to scoot around the lake.He was however wondering how to store and tow his Jet Ski around with his houseboat, I told him of an inexpensive solution and this is how I suggest he do it…
Stay Safe While BoatingIt's Labor Day holiday weekend, so I hope that you enjoy yourselves and stay safe! So for now, enjoy the Houseboat Insider and our 1,300+ page website.Sincerely, IAN (editor of www.all-about-houseboats.com)
