Test your skills, can you pick the live-aboard? http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/DSCF4099.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/DSCF4102.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/DSCF4103.jpg John |

Is that a steering wheel for each motor? |

I have seen two engine, two helms (wheels) setups on houseboats before. Out on Lake Union (Seattle) there is a quite a community of houseboats several rows deep. (However this one appears to be in a marina.) Most houseboats are required to have means of propulsion to be registered as a boat. Hence a 9.9 kicker on the $500K houseboat. They are usually installed, and then enclosed with a bench box, or something decorative. It may seem odd (and it is); but there is an good reason for the two wheels. - The engines are mounted in opposite corners. For example one is forward port, the other is aft starboard. This greatly improves the maneuverability of these things. But why people do it, I don't know. Why can't they use a couple long dock lines. They rarely move and when they do, a whole bunch of people and boats help out. |

How on earth do you see where you are going? That poor little Honda. PS the Grady has an identical top as my Hydra-Sports did. Kinda what you have to do with a t-top. |

I need to start hanging out at the same marinas as JMARTIN. Every marina I've been to here is filled with uptight, ostentatious farkwads. Someday I'll write a book full of scandalous stories of the two summers I spent doing in water boat repair house calls. CG |
