Default Anyone live on a houseboat?

My other halfs dad used to live on a 100ft motor topedo boat and was really nice that was until he died and left it to us fucking wooden piece of ship gave it to the marina for free as what a liability!!!! But having said that it looked a very nice home on the water any idea of maintenance costs and what is the best material to have.....always thought it was cool but this thing had wood worm lol and bilge pumps on continous!!!!

Haters suck my small penis which would be nice to a geezer goin thru a midlife

I watched a restoration programme and it was about a couple living on a house boat and it looked like a nightmare. with all the rules and reg's they had to follow etc

think the programme was on the discovery channel
