After living on this houseboat for over three years, we are moving out of the area and cannot take it with us. Our loss is someone elses gain, though, because we have added many features to this houseboat that will provide comfort and convenience for the next owners. Additionally, we have been diligent about maintenance and recently passed the harbors test of proving the boat is seaworthy, so it could be moved to another harbor easily by its own power.
Here are some of the features of our houseboat, The Terrapin:
We are including all the comforts of home on this boat so you will not miss living ashore in the least bit.

We have invested in radiant heat panels in both the main cabin and the berth (bedroom). These take hardly any electrical power and warm you in the same way the sun rays do outdoors. They make a big difference on cool nights, allowing a bit of warmth without using a ton of power. Additionally, the houseboat comes with a newer Tempurpedic adjustable bed on a platform. This bed is super comfortable and theres a ton of storage underneath with the addition of the platform. We also built a closet from the Container Store to allow ample storage of clothes and shoes. We also upgraded the electrical system here at the marina to allow us to have 50 amps of power AND we moved some outlet carrying larger power items to different boards so they can run in tandem. Last but not least, we have a wa
