() The guys that own the houseboat we'll be on looks like a house, two story, very nicely done. I asked the owners last year if they got over to the new tie on their own power...."nah, hired someone to tow it over." They're not boaters, no interest in boating. Heckuva nice view of the Lake and Seattle, though.
