Zulu
Our houseboat, Zulu, is a wide-beam narrow boat measuring 60 feet by 12 feet, She’s called Zulu, just so my husband can do his best Michael Caine impression and say “like Michael Caine in Zulu.” Plus we knew we’d be writing her ourselves and wanted something short without too many curly bits!

CHARdonnay
We have an old Kings Kraft. I’ve completely remodeled the whole boat. I’m a home builder and own a cabinet company so we really did it right. We know it’s an old boat, but it’s a good boat. Probably the fastest houseboat on the lake because it’s very light weight, plus has twin V-8 engines. I named it after my wife Charlotte. She might pop a cork on a wine bottle from time to time. So the boats name is CHARdonnay.

5:00 Somewhere
She’s a 1972 houseboat that we rebuilt from the pontoons up in 2007. Our boat is our escape and we live by the philosophy that it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere. So the name came easy, It’s 5:00 Somewhere.
