I love the boat! I'd love to find one like it. I also love the fact you kept your error on the boat ramp in. We all make mistakes! Showing them keeps us human!
Thanks. Looks like they handled it all well despite a few set backs. I'm going out tomorrow for an overnighter to test the battery bank situation after having removed the offending dead battery.
That was awsome! Dianne loved all the fish the girls caught! Wow, that was a lot of bugs! Be careful if you use any bug sprays with Deet in them! It will "decay" Lexan windows! We are very careful spraying ourselvs! I was also impressed how well they maneuvered the boat onto the trailer! Great video! AllthebestRoy
Nice you share Mathew! Ive offered my son but he is more a climber than a boater. Do a test on a scrap piece and you will see what the deed will do. Keep the videos coming! AllthebestRoy @@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643
@@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643 I agree, it looks like the temps are dropping this weekend so I'm headed to Eufaula this Thursday to do a little boondocking in the houseboat.
@@ew1421 Awesome. Have a great trip. I'll be taking mine out on Thunderbird, but only because I need to sort out the battery issue and make sure the one battery is enough to get me or the girls through a night. Especially if they plan on a movie night with the TV and stuff. If it's not, then I'm going to bite the bullet and go Lithium.
🌴 well the gal’s had a good time and that’s what the boat was made for , 🤔what’s up with the power system that they lost power. Did they have the generator to hookup to ? Get ya a couple telescopic fish’n rods to tuck away on board in case on of those swamp monsters breaks a rod 😂 a good time on the water 👍🏼( and she did a great job getting on the trailer ) 🫣
Ok. Without mansplaining as I'm accused of regularly by my daughters. I recently bought the houseboat and its been out in the sun with the solar panels charging the battery bank regularly and no issue camping over night. Then I had a shed built for The Oasis four days before the girls went out in it. Turns out one marine 800 amp batteries was allowed to go completely dry which caused a constant drain on the second marine battery. So four days out of the sun with no solar and both batteries were nearly drained at the out start of the girls trip. I've removed the dead battery and the second in now holding a consistent 12 volts. Now it's time for me to take it out and see how it holds up to and all night camping trip. As far as a generator, excellent idea, and I recently purchased one. I Googled the solar charge controller and it is not designed to receive voltage from the generator. So I get to wire up a special charger from the 30amp RV plug to the battery bank. telescopic poles stashed away for emergencies is also a great idea that I hadn't thought of. Thanks for that idea. I'm working through all the kinks. LOL
@@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643 🌴🤔Hummm, so the solar controller won’t except the generator charge , but there’s a 110 plug in that you could use a regular battery charger to charge your battery bank ? Maybe , ya didn’t see any solar panels on the shots from the vid , but lessons learned , have y’all great look’n boat 👍🏼
@@davescheer5038 Yes. The charge controller is a very basic one that was part of a solar panel kit that was purchased online by the builder. I can use one of the 110 volt plugs in the galley with a battery charger, but that would require stretching the cord across the hallway. Doable and in a pinch a great idea to get out of a mess now that I've identified the problem. There isn't a 110 plug in the electrical closet where the battery bank is, but I'm about to fix that. lol. We just recently discovered the power issues, so I've got some work to do to make it right. Any suggestions are always appreciated.
LOL. Literally just walking into the house after changing out the battery bank from flooded lead acid batteries to LifePo4 lithium batteries. Short story.... The previous owner didn't maintenance them and had them wired where one battery was being the work horse. That flooded lead acid battery dried up and they didn't add any water to it. It was destroyed and pulling juice from the second battery. Second one was very low and damaged. My next trip out will be to test the new lithium battery bank.
While I've built many houses, I didn't build the houseboat. This is a Roy Shreyer design with some modifications. This one is basically a limo version coming in at just over 21 feet instead of 17. The craftsman that built this vessel is from Indiana and it takes approximately 600 hours to complete the build. I've learned we are not promised tomorrow and decided I'd rather have 600 hours out on the water with my daughters.

Get some rails on that boat! Sending two girls out on a boat by themselves?! What are you thinking! How would y'all feel, having a hook in your mouth? Stop complaining about the gnats! That's their home, not yours! Those plastic jugs are likely leaching toxic chemicals into the water. You deserve to eat toxic fish! That poor fish flopping around on the floor! Have you no respect for it's comfort? Aside from how gross that is to have fish slime all over the floor of your living space! You need to turn the fire down on the eggs. I could hear it popping and getting too hot. I think I covered most of the obvious Karen Comments. I'm sure if I missed anything, someone will cover it for me. Great video of my beautiful niece and her brave friend! Looks like y'all had a great adventure!
Lol. Because Alexis' friend didn't get off work until late in the evening, later than what she originally thought she would be getting off. The original plan was to launch two hours before dark, but life has a way of changing plans. The girls were still determined to have a go at it.
That boat is awesome. The inside is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy!!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm actually working on an upgrade for the interior.
Great video so much fun
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Proud father great video 🎉
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very cool houseboat. The girls did outstanding handling the vessel and slaying the fish. Making memories 👍👏🇺🇸🚜
Thank you. I was very pleased how they did myself. The Oasis handles like a dream.
I love the boat! I'd love to find one like it. I also love the fact you kept your error on the boat ramp in. We all make mistakes! Showing them keeps us human!
Thanks. I think we are going to really enjoy the little houseboat.
great video!!!!!!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
What an awesome video it looks like the girls really had a great time and your daughter can actually run that boat very well
Thank you. She did very well, especially considering This was only her second time to set foot on the boat.
They never complained, just overcame and made a great time of it. Btw, Nice boat!
Thanks. They did well, even if a few things weren't going their way.
Way to go Pops. Allowing them to take out the family boat. THey did a great job too.
Thanks. Looks like they handled it all well despite a few set backs. I'm going out tomorrow for an overnighter to test the battery bank situation after having removed the offending dead battery.
Great job, girls! Looks like a very good start!
Looking forward to our summer- to do an overnighter… great video mate
Thank you.
Great job 👏
Glad you enjoyed their video.

Thanks Roy. I'm glad you and your wife got a kick out of the video. I had no idea about the Deet on Lexan. I'll take care when using the stuff.

FANTASTIC!!👌
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great to see the girls having so much fun
Thank you. I suspect the girls will take it out more, especially as they get more comfortable with it.
@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643 I envy you, my kids gave gone the opposite way, less and kes interested in boats, the older they get
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating Sometimes they circle back around, just takes some time. Wishing the best for you all.

One thing I used to like to do when I put my boat in the water was to unplug the boat trailer lights keeps from blowing any bulbs
My dad has told me this repeatedly. Just can't seem to remember it. lol
WOOOOOAAA!! What is that...Flying Sardines?..
SALUDOS FROM PANAMA.
Hello in Panama. I was there once and loved it. Just a short stay, but it was great.
***Teachin' em right pop!!***
Thanks. I've been teaching my daughters since they were very little, so they have the confidence to try stuff that might seems difficult.
What was the best combo ever? Saw the watermelon but couldn’t see the spice.
They were using something call Tajin. They love throwing that stuff all over the watermelon.
Putting in my 2 weeks to start my YouTubing career

Hater 🙄
It looks like the boat needs railing or knee-wall along the front & rear decks. Do you feel the need for them, or is it a non-issue?
It's been a non-issue. I don't believe I've seen any of the Dianne's Rose designs with rails.
Remember where you parked
Always sound advice.
Why launch in the dark?
Lol. Because Alexis' friend didn't get off work until late in the evening, later than what she originally thought she would be getting off. The original plan was to launch two hours before dark, but life has a way of changing plans. The girls were still determined to have a go at it.
Because it’s stolen
