That would be interesting to tow, did they buy a marine assist membership?

I don't see any difference in this and most of the houseboats on the lake, I don't think who ever buys these will have any intention to ever leave the dock with it. There are several Houseboats that couldn't leave their slips if you gave the owner 2 weeks to do it. This is no more than a floating cabin, the only reason it has a motor is because of the rules on Lake Cumberland. If you go to Green River the cabins on that lake are very tastefully done, I have never understood why they can't be done that way on LC, other than it's the houseboat capital of the world and these would adversly affect that business. I would be a buyer for one of these if there was a true community/marina with guidelines on how they have to be built and maintained.

I guess they did get the dock sections classified as a US Coast Guard approved "hull".

We were there while they were building it and later when they were finishing it. As I saw it, it was "bowed" in the middle as if the floatation devices were not properly secured or the framework was not strong enough (it's all wood ). The kindest thing that I can say is that I would not invest my money on that ..."cottage".

Wonder how you would insure something like that? Storm damage, property damage, liability, fire or even sinking (and recovery) would be interesting.

On another note: How would you keep kids (or adults) from jumping off that porch into the water?
