I got the engine pulled on the project boat today but I don't have time to post pictures. We are headed down to the houseboat to winterize it. It has been getting colder faster than I thought it would. I guess I am going to have to talk to AlGore about his global warming plan.
Will post pictures and whatever else we do tomorrow.

Another boat





I will research how much it would cost to fix it and then see if I could get a used one for a better price.

Last day
We had an enjoyable 4 days. I am sure there will be many more. It isn't a big boat but if someone wants to come and share it I am sure that we can figure out how to accommodate you. Kerry did a great job of cooking every day and we certainly didn't go hungry. We made it the whole time on two marine batteries and one propane tank. I am sure we will be able to do it for a week at a time during the summer.
Day three
That night we kept hearing something thump the boat. We couldn't figure out what the noise was. In the morning Kerry and I got up and went to investigate what would make the thumping noise every once in a while.
Day two
Day one
Kerry and the girls were off for fall break so we took out the houseboat to find out what it was like to spend time on it. It took me a little time to get ready because I had to fix the plumbing for the 60 gallon fresh water tank. It had some galvanized fittings and patched up copper tubing running from the tank to the pump. I replaced the the fittings under the tank with some ABS plastic fittings and a drain valve and ran PEX tubing between the tank and the pump. After I got the water tank working we headed out to find a cove.
This is the cove we tied up in. You just run the boat up on the shore and then tie the long ropes from the back corners to some trees. It is a little harder to drive a 40 foot pontoon boat than it is to drive a 17 foot ski boat. The GPS in the ski boat said that we were going 6 mph though.
The fall leaves were very pretty.
This is a shot across part of the lake. It is a pretty big lake on the Kentucky Tennessee line.
