Houseboat INSIDER - is summer around the corner?
June 01, 2013
Hello

Is summer just around the corner already? Now that spring is coming to an end, most of you must have your boats ready/launched, or scrambling to get the final touches done for the season.

This is a great time of year to go houseboating as the waterways are not as busy as during the summer holidays. The warm days are great for boating, and the cool nights are excellent for sleeping with the windows open (but with the screens closed)

Thank You for the Survey Feedback

We want to thank everyone who participated in our "advanced survey" as the quantity and quality of the feedback was overwhelming. We are currently working very hard on putting all the material together for you and we will keep you updated with the progress.

The Top-5 Survey Topics & Delivery Methods

Here are the top-5 survey topics that interested you all. We were able to get some great "detailed feedback" on each topic, and also see "how you want" this material delivered.

Preliminary analyses shows that iPad/Kindle/eBook format is important to you, so as "directly online" is also popular. Here are the 5 major topics:

  • Buying a Houseboat - tips and secrets to get you a great boat
  • Fixing & Repairing - ways to repair & keep the boat in order
  • Living on a Boat - the "how to list" for living on the water
  • Safety & Security - keep the boat, friends, and family safe
  • Parts & Accessories - showcase new or useful technology

  • Keep You Updated With Progress

    Since there is plenty of work being done "behind the scenes" with preparing all of this houseboating material, we will keep you updated with the progress and the arrival dates.

    So for now, enjoy the Houseboat Insider and our 1,300 page website.

    Sincerely, IAN (editor of www.all-about-houseboats.com)
