Houseboat INSIDER - are you on holidays or summer vacations?
July 27, 2012
Hello

Are you on holidays or on summer vacation? Hopefully you're enjoying the summer heat and are out on your houseboat? The summer months of July & August are typically the hottest, and also when a high percentage of houseboaters are out on holidays or on vacation with the family.

Busy Times:

You have likely noticed that the lakes, rivers, and waterways are bustling with boats of all sizes, and it's a especially great time to be out at anchor, or tied to a beach, or simply enjoying all the activities at the marina. Tell us where are you houseboating this weekend, and why you love houseboating in your area?

Popular Topics:

Statistics show that not all the Houseboat Insider subscribers actually own a houseboat, some may 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?

We have initiated a new service to help folks with questions. Some of you may have some pressing houseboating questions that you would need answered before making some important decisions?
