I think a lot of clubs are started by the builder or the developer or whatever to aid sales. But you're ALREADY a member of the houseboat club, and maybe even the "vintage houseboat club". There was a houseboat flag (I have one, somewhere), and maybe T-shirts. ------------------------- Willie She's a tired old barge but she's paid for! http://s71.photobucket.com/alb...p;current=ef324993.pbw Edited: 11/22/2007 at 05:44:12 PM by stmbtwle

Could save me a bunch of combo-washer/dryer-money, dollars better spent on beer. Looks as if it's not meant to go much beyond the bayou backwaters, though, with that extra-shallow draft. ------------------------- Amelia Edenton, NC

Amelia Admiral Posts: 522 Joined: 02/03/2007	Another good idea! That's the kind of pilothouse that might have a future on our houseboat to shelter the flying bridge, if himself gets tired of the sun beating down on his balding pate. It's conveniently collapsible for low-ish bridges and forecast strong winds, good extra bedroom for visiting grandkids- just need to decide how to sell its 'esthetics' to the guy in charge of boat design around here. ------------------------- Amelia Edenton, NC

Amelia Admiral Posts: 522 Joined: 02/03/2007	And Ted, be REAL careful which former Gulf Coast girl you offer a bowl of gumbo to-- She's liable to show up on your doorstep, if you don't watch out. (I once invited a new acquaintance home for lunch, which happened to be quite respectable, if leftover, home-made gumbo. The poor fellow, a midwesterner who ate shellfish with some trepidation and had never even seen okra up close, came back for second helpings, and then thirds-- and he's still putting his feet under my table more than 35 years later.) ------------------------- Amelia Edenton, NC
