Romantic Georgia Getaway By Houseboat
When you find a boat that meets your feature list, and is within your budget, it's time to contact the seller and go see the boat in person. When you visit the seller, make sure to have a list of questions you have about the boat. You might want to know the history behind it, how many previous owners its had, and where it originated. You can ask about the service history of the boat, and how many hours of operation the engine has on it. Ask if the boat comes with a cover.
Know the amenities of the yachte that you rented to help you know what to expect. For example, most houseboat rental companies fully equip their houseboat kitchens with a gas stove, refrigerator/freezer, oven, microwave, oven, coffee maker, toaster and blender. So, you basically do not have to bring your own kitchen utensils as they also provide the pots and pans, dishes and silverware. You will even be provided with dish soap and the likes.
Take along food supplies even if you are assured of sale by local stores. Though these stores will relieve you of the burden of carrying food all the way to the rivers, they cannot be counted on all the time as they may close for one reason or the other.
Pride of Ownership. Building and owning a boat is prestigious. Family and friends will be impressed by your passion and commitment. You will be proud to a part of the elite group of people who have mastered the art of boat building.
Even if you think you've found your dream house check at least ten similar properties. You may be surprised. You need to see the full scope of what the area has to offer before you make a final decision. When looking at properties never assume anything. Ask your realtor about every detail. For example if you plan to build a dock or a boathouse, put in a septic, add a gas line or grade a frontage road, there may be covenants regulating that kind of work. It is not uncommon for those types of construction projects to be restricted.
If your newly acquired boat is second hand and is in bad shape then insurance companies can easily refuse to insure your boat. So try not to buy a boat in bad condition. The only way to get insurance for a bad boat is by transforming it into a good boat. You will have to do lot of repair work to make the boat pass inspection.
Let us be mindful about what we have set our hearts on. Let us be careful of how closely we get tied to the things we own. Are they so important? It's nice to have a home and I really love the home I'm in, but we have to be careful that we don't get so tied to things that they become a part of us. We aren't our things. They are just things.
