HB Insider - use a sling or hull style trailer?
September 30, 2017
Hello

I have some GOOD NEWS to report, Linda has been much more involved in the day-to-day operations of the website. You can see the improvements in the new visual INSIDER format that we are using, this is mostly Linda's doing (ain't she great)... :)

Now as to it being already the end of Sept, it just blows my mind (time flies). We have been having a real HEAT WAVE for the last 2 weeks, and we feel that we are still in summer mode, yet the reality is that fall arrived a few days ago... :(

Enough with all this, let's get into this month's newsletter right away, IAN.

* The TIP of the Month *

Houseboating is constantly growing in popularity and there's so many new things to see & learn. This is where we can help you "get the most" out of your boats & boating activities.


What's the RIGHT WAY to lift a houseboat?

Houseboats have come in a wide variety of styles and makes, that is what makes them great for everyone... :)

In the 70's, they made some models with "removable catwalks" which could create an issue for removing them from the water. I would presume the SAFEST WAY would be with a hydraulic trailer as there would not even touch the catwalks.


Lift a houseboat with catwalks



What would you do? Would you remove the catwalks, or leave them on? Or, would you opt for using a hull style hydraulic trailer to haul the boat out. Do you use a sling style travel lift while the catwalks are installed, or not?




That's our Tip Of The Month, so let's return to our newsletter...

Sincerely, IAN

Statistics show that not all the Houseboat Insider subscribers actually own a houseboat. Many of our new readers may be looking to buy a houseboat, and others may be searching the classified ads, or may be looking to buy a new boat, or may be wanting to transport a boat, or looking to finance a boat, or looking for a great vacation rental deal?

Here's some other links to tips on buying a boat, transporting a boat, building a houseboat, insurance for houseboats, marine surveys, classified ads, and houseboat rentals. We hope you find the links useful, and do enjoy the website, IAN.
