Houseboat Buying Information

Lindsay ~ 27 January 2005

If you like houses with views of the water, it’s hard to beat living on the water in a houseboat. Buying a houseboat is a little different (ok, a lot different) than buying a house, though. Some of the things you have to consider are mooring fees, insurance, national titles and winterization. If you’re buying a used houseboat, you’ll need to have a marine survey done before you can secure a loan.


To get an idea of what all is involved, I recommend the following articles from Houseboat Magazine:
