Independance Day has to be one of the largest and busiest days for houseboating around. The weather is generally very warm, and family and friends love to join in on the July 4th celebrations. Tell us WHERE you are going houseboating during the holiday?

Save up to 40% off:

With so little time and so many things to do, my own personal to-do-list does require me to pick up a few items for the boat. The timing is perfect since you can save some time and I can share this special sale with you. You can take advantage of the up to 40% off sale going on and do some virtual shopping.

One of the things that I realize is that not everyone who receives the monthly Houseboat Insider actually owns a houseboat, so some of you maybe interested in our other topics.

Popular Topics:

You may not currently own a houseboat, however you might be looking to buy a used boat, or maybe looking to buy a new boat, or maybe to transport a boat, or looking to finance a boat, or possibly looking for a great vacation rental deal? A lot of you may have some pressing houseboating questions that you would need answered before making some decisions?

Over 1,200 pages on the website:

With all the pages on the website and all the articles included below in this months Insider, there's surely something to please the new, beginner, curious, or even experienced houseboaters everywhere.

I hope you have a great July 4th holiday, and please, have fun and be safe.

Safe houseboating, IAN.
