Houseboat INSIDER - a NEW houseboat for Christmas?

If a NEW houseboat was on your agenda, what model, size, or options would you be ordering? Would you want a fiberglass or aluminum model? What "extra equipment" would you want to have onboard?

Speaking of extra equipment or the "options list", would you want a bow thruster, generator, solar panels, water purifier, windlass, dinghy davits, small computer office, jacuzzi, flybridge, AC heat pump, propane appliances, gas or diesel engine(s), inboards or outboards, low maintenance exterior, night vision camera, radar, chartplotter, and the list goes on, and on, and on.... :)

Now that I have stimulated your "houseboat wish list", take a moment and tell me what style or make of houseboat you would like to buy? Don't forget to tell me the "extras" that you would like to have onboard... :)

Now that we are at the end of September, I see that Columbus Day is just around the corner. I hope you all have a great Columbus Day holiday, IAN.

Marinas around the World? I love hearing from readers about what you like about the area where you do your houseboating? You can tell me about "where in the world you houseboat" or what you "love about your marina"?
