1321.0. "HouseBoats..." by CONFG5::MSTAG (Rainbow In The Dark) Mon Aug 28 1989 14:08

    
    Hi!
    
    I was looking into the possibility of purchasing a houseboat and trying
    the "LiveAboard" lifestyle, and although I've read the previous notes
    on the subject, I still hav a few more questions:
    
    1) How much do they cost and where do you go to buy them?
    2) Where do you go to insure them?
    3) How do you go about finding a place to keep it?
    4) What's involved in taking it out once in a while?
    5) How bad does it get in the winter? Is it hard to find a sufficient
       heating system? And are the waters a lot more choppy?
    6) Any helpful hints and suggestions and experiences you may have...
    
    Thanks In Advance!
    Angela
