"Baby, I have no place to be." Perfect! You're making memories that young lady will cherish for a lifetime. Kudos.
Thanks Garth, it has been so much more fun doing all this with my daughter. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
WONDERFUL inspiration for others to bring these relics back... You've done a FANTASTICAL job young lady... Many years of memories are waiting for you and family....
CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you JD, that's so nice of you, we sure are having fun. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
I love the sound of the night.
Lol, then you should check out this video

He asks: “Where do you want to go?”
She responds: “Baby, I got no place to be.”
That’s awesome! Just relaxing and getting away from it all. 👍
Thanks Uther MacEanruig, I think that was my favorite part of this trip. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
Nice video, nice tiny houseboat life. I love it. I enjoy watching.
Thanks Jose, I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Great job on the 🚢 boat.
Just remember the acronym for BOAT=
Bust out another thousand!
Don't let a few cloudy days cheat you from having a good time. Live your dreams, seek your adventures and make a life time of memories. The only people out there not making any mistakes are those who are not out there.
Well said Shane! Some of my best memories are from times that didn't go as planned. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
Awesome boat!!!! Great video for sure. See y'all next time.
Watched before a few months ago but enjoyed seeing the fact you took a 1971 houseboat and renovated it to your needs and comfort were simply charming and pleasing... We took a $200.00 slide in truck cab over CAMPER, gutted it and completely rewired it with house wire and from a 20 AMP to a 50 or 30 AMP BOX and Plug in... installed an 11 amp microwave, 110 WATT 5 CF refer-freezer, Power Stabilizing Jack's, Electric heater and airconditioner. Propane stovetop and oven. And a 5 inch queen sized body mold gel mattress, Outside shower, New water tank from 20 gallon to 35 gallon. Keep the 5 gallon water heater size and added a small 110 generator that you can hardly hear run with the 3 ft. exhaust pipe added and oversized muffler... doesn't over heat nor choke down....
Absolutely love this! This video shows everything that can happen,, and love how you guys just took it all in stride and had fun with it!!
Thank you William Howell! We've been going on crazy adventures since we got married in 2008 and if there's one thing I've learned, its that things rarely go as planned...and that's ok. I dont hide anything in my videos, I glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brian, I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jake Star! I'm so glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of the houseboat my Dad had, we had some good times on it. We are on Norris as well. Wish I still had it now to enjoy. The freeze dried food is an incredible idea. Loved the video, will be looking for more of your adventures, and who knows, maybe we will run into you on the lake.
Thats cool that your living on your houseboat.
Lovin it! Working on retirement houseboat now. Total strip down and rebuild always checking out vids for awesome ideas. Thanks.
Thanks Ruth, I'm in the middle of a winter remodel now and I have uploaded a lot of videos of different ideas to my channel m.ua-cam.com/channels/F_aN4GQyn_yVjfIT8JsLEw.html . Thanks for watching and good luck on your boat
Good job refurbishing the boat. Enjoy.
Thanks Tony Wedding, it's even more fun than I thought. Thanks for watching!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LAUNCH
as a new boater you will learn that changing the impeller in your water intake once a year helps prevent over heating. Sometimes the impellers will not pump water even when they look fine! The black rubber impeller can be found as cheep as 15 bucks!
Good luck. Keep kiddies in life jackets
hello from the Ozarks!! love Norris lake and welcome your new adventure! were blessed to many large lakes here in the Ozarks where you journey and see few homes! many memories ahead of your family in this new journey. Grace be with you!!
Thanks Phillip, I am excited to see where this takes us, the possibilities are endless. Your neck of the wood sounds beautiful, makes me want haul the boat out there for a few weeks. Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Very nice you will all have a lot of good memories on the boat name it after your daughter she will remember it all her life.
Thanks RC Flyer, that's a great idea!
Awesome boat , you did a great job , I’m jealous. Many years a happy boating .
Lol, thank you Jim and thanks for watching!
Looks like the freeze dried meals worked out nicely. I hope you have years of joy on your new camping boat. Well done. Texas
Thank you Jeff! We sure are having fun so far. Thanks for watching!
I can't wait to build me a houseboat. I'm going to name it the River Anne.
Named after my mother Anne whom died of covid-19 3 days before Christmas. Also named after my daughter and wife.
What a worthwhile endeavor, and the perfect tribute to your mother's memory. I am so, so sorry for your loss and will be praying for you and your family. God bless you!
@@ProverbsProductions Thank you. As you can imagine, it's been a terrible experience. The only good thing that came out of it, is the Fact that I know she celebrated her first Christmas with the Lord.
Congratulations! Even with challenges, that is awesome!!
Thanks K W, I'm glad that after three years of hard work I never gave up on the dream
As an experienced motorhome owner ( this house boat is no different) propane fridge and cooking is how you do it.
Family memories very nice. Good luck with your very cool house boat.
Thank you Rich and thanks for watching
The joys of boat ownership!
Lol, thanks for watching Patrick
very cool and nice job and look forward to watching! :)
Thanks Trucking 101, I'm working on a new video now. Thanks for watching!
Just cool...
Thanks Carl W! I'm glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
Thats a great video - thanks for sharing.
Good on you for taking the leap into boat ownership. You will never forget these adventures. Your kids will learn loads on these as well
I’ll have to see about doing your freeze dried meals in my campervan
Thanks Kim Horton! We are having a lot of fun. I think freeze dried meals would be great for that!
Wow, gotta get a freeze-dryer!!
Hi genesis ark, I use mine all the time!
Wonderful
Thanks Wendell, I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
I love it!!!!
Great! Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
I have to say...for over 4 years, I have seen videos of floating homes for sale on Lake Norris, this actually got my attention. Love the boat. Wish I could find a 28 foot version. Would serve me well. Thanks for sharing. Young carrot top is cute and feisty...just like Momma. 😎
Hi Todd, thank you, we sure are having fun on it. Thanks for watching!
What a great way to live
Thanks Chris and thanks for watching!
Cool boat.. I'm from the Philippines
Thanks Malditong, glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
A lovely family in GOD's creation!
Thank you genesis ark, I love my little family. Thanks for watching!
Yes 👍
“I have no place to be” love it.
Thanks Chris, glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Oh, my heart!☺️
Awesome boat and adventures! We have a Zodi Outback shower that we love. It's a stainless pump up sprayer body so you can heat it on a stove burner. I added a stick on aquarium thermometer for quick reference.
Awesome
Thank you Brodie and thanks for watching!
Very positive video.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Hey! Just found you guys...60's here, looking to RV, or boat..lots of options. Enjoyed your video
I’m loving having your own freeze dryer
I think that would be cool
Thank Jeff, I'm actually working on freeze dried pumpkin pie right now. Thanks for watching!
Just curious what got you into preping freezing etc
You need to get an old trolling motor for the bow, to help get you off the rocks.
nice job on the house boat nd video.
Thank you so much J Clinton, I'm not sure which I like more, boating or making videos 😁 thanks for watching!
We are building a 30 ft triple pontoon house boat. Just put the base decking on it and the aluminum walls are being readied now.
Happy family 👍🙏
Thanks Leo Martinus and thanks for watching!
Прекрасный семейный отдых!)))
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Good video and a nice looking boat, you should have a lot of great times with it. One suggestion, propane is heavier than air and can sink into the bottom area of the boat. A propane detector mounted in the lower part of the cabin can provide a warning if there is a propane leak.
Thanks Darwin, I'm actually cooking with butane in this video (not much better, but a little). I actually posted a new video today with a section that addresses the dangers of propane on a boat with a bilge. Funny thing is I have an old picture of the boat just after it was finished and all the original appliances were propane. There is still an old propane line in place. We do of course have multiple detectors and I think you've just given me an idea for a future video. Thanks for watching.
Have you ever grilled catfish? It's awesome
Very nice boat‼️
Thank you James, it sure suits us. Thanks for watching.
We traveled on motorcycles and freeze dried meals is the only best way to go. It's ether that or whatever greasy spoon place we can find and spend a bunch of money we can't afford to spend. So it's cheaper and healthier to eat the freeze dried meals even biscuits and gravy for breakfast The biscuits are fresh made just before we hit the road. I will make room for a couple of doz. of them... LOL... Biscuits are also are nice to have with a bit of jelly for a quick roadside snack... LOL...
Hi Bobby Baldeagle, before our daughter was born, we used to travel the country on motorcycles too! We carried camping supplies with us and camped almost the whole way. I didn't have a freeze dryer back them, so we carried dry good groceries like pasta mixes and a little bit of canned food, we really got creative with it. We had so much fun, I would love to take my daughter when she gets older. Thanks for watching!
Wow...
Hi Yulis, glad you liked the video. If you liked this one I have others on my channel Samantha's tiny houseboat adventures. Thanks for watching!
Wish I had a little houseboat. You may have mentioned it, but since you are doing boondock water camping, I would go with a 12v / propane frig and a propane small hot water on demand system for the shower and sink. If going on the cheap, get a Cabela's ice chest with some gallon jugs of water frozen and a 1.5 gallon pump sprayer for the shower. The kind you use to spray weeds. but the black bladder shower probably works just fine. I've just never used one. When we beach camp we use a pump sprayer to get the sand and salt off of us.
Beautiful 🥰
Lived in Kentucky as a child. Well remember those reservoirs lined with flat stones and mud. ( Lots of beauty there too. Just not those lake bottoms.)
Great houseboat and video!
Thank you Rob, it is a beautiful place. The rocks are a trick, especially when the water level is low. Thank you so much for the comment and for watching!
I enjoyed the video, thanks! Your steering wheel caught my eye as I think it is the same teak one we have in our Rose? Looks like yours may have been re finished but the hub and shape look the same! I've never come across one before but love ours and am impressed with the workmanship. Best/Roy
Oh wow, how about that! I think you're right, they are the same. The boat was built by a speedboat builder in Kentucky and I believe he may have borrowed some parts, like the gauges and wheel, from an older (salvage boat).
You're living my dream. Wanted to do this very same thing. I may yet get to. Enjoy!! I subscribed so you got to do at least a weekly and let us know where you are....and where you're going.
Thanks Curtis, i hope one day you find the perfect boat and get to live your dream. I'm editing a new video now to upload soon. Thanks for watching!
I think next thing to add after the getting too close to shore thing is a few electric thrusters (couple of trolling motors?) . Great little house boat overall. Would love to have something like that myself.
What house boat is this by the way?
Thanks Whitepaw Rolls, it was built on custom order by a speedboat builder in Kentucky in 1971, so there is no make/model. This seems to be everyone's favorite video from my channel. Thanks for watching!
First time out, boat overheats, stuck on rocks, wow what a first day. But, turned out Ok. Enjoy!
Thanks Robert, it never goes as planned, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I seems like I never remember the adventures that were all smooth sailing and calm waters. I always remember the motorcycle rides when we broke down in the middle of nowhere, camping trips that rained the whole time and vacations that didn't go as planned because the flight was delayed. It seems like it takes some hardship or struggle to really engrave these memories on our brain. So, I never mind the hard stuff; it assures that I'll never forget the good stuff. Thanks for watching.
Hello from New Hampshire..👍❤️👍
Hey zx24me! Thanks for watching!
One state you can't overnight on inland waters
I have never seen a dedicated Leaning Tower of Power for marine use. With a water cooled exhaust, I guess they did exist. Good luck with your adventure, Subscribed!
Lol, thanks Timothy Harrison, a lot of things on this boat I've never seen before. Her builder was definitely creative and experienced. Thanks for watching!
Marinette boats used Chrysler engines and Chrysler also made outboard engines
You can use a new farden sprayer. Add youd hot water pump up the presure spray soap rince its all good if you need add it to a fixed sjower.. tank on roof woth solar powered water punp pumping water throigh hose from tank back into tanl works as great water heater too. If you like solar put in a panel ot what have you from harbour freight and a few battaries and run a portable dimetic cooler/freezer too. Have a vall nice boat. Nice fixup job you did.
That's a great idea B. M, I actually just bought a Coleman h20 on demand portable water heater. I'm going to try it out and do a video on it in the future. Now I have to design a better shower enclosure. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
Just so you know, you have at least 1 subscriber from Australia 🙂
Whoo hoo! Thanks daz350
Very nice video...I subscribed...
Thanks Robert, I love editing videos. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
You may want to add some solar panels on top of your houseboat to keep the batteries charged or consider a small portable generator (2000 watt Honda knock-off).
Also, if the water pump on the engine was run dry long enough to overheat the engine, the neoprene impeller may have been damaged and should be replaced. They need replacing every few years anyway and it is good to have a spare on board as well. Very nice houseboat.
Thanks for the heads up PDGearhead. The batteries are hooked to solar panels, I've included some information on them in another video and will do more videos on the solar features of the boat. I will definitely check into the issue of the impeller, thanks for the heads up. Thank you for watching!
@@ProverbsProductions I'll second the suggestion regarding the impeller. I changed the impeller on my boat every spring....just in case. It is cheap insurance to avoid ruining the engine due to overheating. Your boat is the perfect size for a small family. It is small enough to manage easily and big enough to have fun. Enjoy!
Thanks John, sounds like good advice, it might even show up in a video. Thanks for watching!
You're welcome. Great videos - keep the good work.
Have u saw the little propane water heater that living in your van people use? Have u seen the pump up weed killer tanks for showers? Lots of choices
Hi Randy, I recently researched a bunch of different shower/water heater combinations (along with the ones you just mentioned) and I purchased one to try out and review for a video for you guys. That video will be coming soon. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching!
The houseboat adventures
a mini fridge would work fine in that boat. also, solar panels.
Cool! your own MREs
Lol, yeah I guess it is. Thanks Mike and thanks for watching!
Are y’all boating with your houseboat?? If so I have couple questions. Length?? Make??
I thank you. Jim
You're gonna have to show us how to do your meals.
Sure thing Bert, I'll do a video on it soon. Thanks for watching.
New sub
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
When engine quits, drop anchor
That 8times speed makes me dizzy. Keep em coming though. Good luck
Good salam kenal Indonesia
Hi Ismail, thanks for watching!
My dream tiny 🏠 home with GOD,Windows,water...my dream I just found you and will stay!
Thank you Lynda! I'm glad you like the videos and the boat. Thanks for watching!
Question, does that river let out to another waterway? For instance let's say the Mississippi River.
Hi Brint, In this video we're cruising around Norris Lake in Tennessee. As far as I know it has no river access, however I'm only an hour from the Tennessee River and hope to do a trip there this spring. Thanks for watching!
@@ProverbsProductions I was just wondering if you were doing any cruising to different places. Not just on the lake. This channel would take off if you took it to the ICW. Keep it up! Gotta start somewhere
@@justbrint thanks for that, I guess I'm not closed to any possibility and the bigger and more unlikely the adventure the better. I'm excited myself to see where this takes me. Thanks for watching!
What kind of boat is this?
Hi Brittani, its a 1971 custom built houseboat. It was designed and built by a speedboat builder in Kentucky. It has a "fiberglass over plywood" hull, aluminum siding and a "fiberglass over plywood" roof. Thanks for watching!
What size is your boat
Sure looked like a slant-6 to me.
Nice, how I wish it is like not that hard to bring child in that adventure, ours is autistic 😔
I'm lucky 1000
Here is an idea for your shower propane insta hot water heater
Question. Are you living on that boat or just vacationing? I am assuming vacationing. Which that's perfect for. I hope your not living on it permanently.
Any one know how big the lake is there on,, Thxs, gb
Hi Glen, Norris Lake is 206 miles long and has an area of a bout 53 square miles. Thanks for watching!
@@ProverbsProductions how much draw or how much water does it have to have under it,, Thxs, I'm on lake Cumberland,,it would be closer to Tnn now,, Thxs for the info. gb
Hi Glen, because my out drive goes so far down in the water I need at least 3' to be comfortable. The hull probably only has a 6" draft
Do you still have the boat?
Hi markmaue438, Yes I still have the boat. My husband went back to school to be a physician assistant full time for the last 3 years. We've been all over the country with him while he does clinical rotations. He's almost done now and I hope we have a lot more time to enjoy the lake. My daughter and I have also been building a really neat solar powered shanty boat in our downtime. Hope to do some videos on it also. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
@@ProverbsProductions a great shanty boat channel is BACKROADS AND BACKWATERS, Good Christian guy. We built a skoolie and have traveled in it.
What’s the name and year oh this boat
Hi Conner Miller, it was built in 1971 by a speed boat builder in Kentucky as a special order. I have decided on a name for the boat and will be announcing it in an upcoming episode. Thanks for watching!
What company manufactured this house boat ?
Hi Dennis, the boat was built by a speedboat builder in Kentucky in 1971 as a custom order. As far as I know he built 3-4 houseboats as custom orders. I believe they are of his own design. Thanks for watching!
What are you gonna name the boat?
I've been thinking about a name since I began work on the boat. I have a few things in mind, but haven't settled on anything. I'm open to idea.
Yeahhhh, 4 minutes in and I have now decided houseboat living is not for me LOL
Nobody says you have to live on them...

Hi Stefan, glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
don't give up your day job.first thing a boatie dose is look for water flow
Then they go on UA-cam and look for some producer to troll.
@@RobMacKendrick not a troll,its the first thing you look at,its called the tell tail
Nah, COS. Hard to run ashore when not under power. Hard to grind on the rocks when no waves. Fake drama. Turns out this is a lake. Not the open ocean. Good luck, have fun.
Kevin Hogan You can still grind on rocks from the momentum of the boat drifting into them. Real rudeness on your part. Don’t be a jerk.
