- Living on a boat may be my best decision yet! Here's an extended tour of my 24 foot pontoon houseboat. This was the first video I ever filmed, so my camera presence is pretty gnarly! (I've gotten a lot better some may say) Check out my channel to see what my live-aboard lifestyle is like! Comment your questions, and thanks for watching. Happy boating!

Wow, you’re amazing! I just got an apartment with a dock behind it. You’ve inspired me to build a tiny house boat to sleep in and Airbnb my bedroom in my apartment.
You inspired me to buy a pontoon boat I found a 1 bedroom 30' and now I'm living in it with my daughter and my dog. I mite start a vlog like this maybe to show off the cali waters around la. I love fishing out of my backyard lol
Wow that is amazing I’m so glad!!!! You guys are probably loving it.
@@houseboatgirl4764 yea my daughter loves the water lol I cant get her back in the boat sometimes lol plus my dog joins her lol
I always wanted to live in a house boat in the Atchalafaya basin♡♡♡
pro trick: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Wayne Bruno definitely, been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
Love your courage and free lifestyle. Keep living your dream. Love your dog. I had a malamute and she was so wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
What a cool, cozy place. Your puppy is gorgeous!
Use Velcro or magnets on a piece of fabric to use as a curtain for your bathroom window. That way its as flat to the wall as possible and then you are not bumping into the rod. That way you will have more private when showering
Thanks for your ideas!
Dunno how I went from watching a guy collect quarters from his laundry mat to this but here we are
Good for you being different and showing other cool ways to live “The Good Life” ✌️
I like your smart build houseboat and also that way how you are thinking. All best from Australia!
Great set up,enjoyed the tour,thanks for sharing
I am very impressed with the boat and you. I have a lot on a small canal and wanting to build a pontoon like your.
Good luck on all your adventures.
This houseboat is awesome! Good Video, Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
That is awesome. Can not wait to see more updates.
I love it! I think you are incredibly unique, and adventurous! That sunset is poetic! Great vid. Thank you.
Awe thank you for those kind words!!
That's actually pretty cool, I would totally buy one of those and move in right away.
Pokesmot Wakka Thank you! You should!! Ya
Great boat , jealous, many years of safe and happy boating .
Thanks Jim!
I think this is great! I've been seriously thinking about living on a boat.I just subscribed to help out a fellow free spirit.✌
The upper deck view is awesome!
Thank you! It’s my favorite spot!
Good job Houseboat Girl! We'll see you around the marina.... delayed departure for us until this week coming up.
Very Nice. It makes me want one more.
I could so live there. You really made it your own. Beautiful dog as well. Thank you for sharing this. New sub.
Thank you for your words!! And subscribing!
I totally love you house boat ! Your doing great 👍 thanks for sharing ❤️
Aw thanks Julia!!
Marissa Myer you’re very welcome. 😉 we lived on a boat for a short time a 72 Chris craft power boat. I wanted a sailboat but my fiancé wanted a power boat. We lived on the hook out in Gulfport Florida. I loved it at first but when the first storm hit I was terrified. I think if we would’ve been in a slip it would’ve been fine . Unfortunately I couldn’t find any slips available in our area. We’ve been living in Rv’s for the past 5 years and love it. Unfortunately we’ve been stationary due to working. I want to get a van to travel in though soon. Keep up the great videos !!! 👍😁
I absolutely love it. Very nice home you have there. I bet you sleep good being on water. 😎
Thanks Rance! I really do!!
Awesome.. this is exactly what I've been wanting to do. Without the marina. Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow that’s adventurous! Haha good luck!
So cute! Great use of space too
Thank you!!!
Look up "how to cast a net", learn to throw a 6-10 ft casting net, catch all the crabs and lobster you want (depending on state license requirements near shore). Best 'food budget money saver' you'll ever have! Cute boat for a 'singles home'.
Skeeter Saurus Thanks for the advice! I’d LOVE to do that!!
Awesome boat .
Slip price is cheap .
Beautiful dog .
Stay safe and enjoy .
Thanks so much!
You did a great job on your vlog. I love your boat !
Thanks sooo much!
That's pretty cool, I live on my sailboat and I hate it when I have to stay on land anymore. I have an RV too but barely ever use it anymore. I love the water too much. Nice to see cute ladies livin the dream like me. You need a water slide of the back.lol I would love to meet a gal like you. I've seen some cool houseboats. I almost bought one on the river in Louisiana. My sailboat will go anywhere though and it has a lot of room, cheap to travel in also. Cheers.
Good job on the video!!! Paint that closet blue too!! (My favorite color)
Haha my favorite too!!
I just bought an abandoned pontoon boat that needs a little bit of TLC, but you make me just want to mes around and do this!!
That’s awesome! Good luck!
@@houseboatgirl4764 thank you! hope my husky enjoys it as much as yours!
Your boat is very awesome, and your incredibly beautiful.
Thank you!
Seems your really enjoying your new HB. It is very cute and great for a one person live aboard. I'm sure your dog likes it as well. Nice Marina, but seems crowded. I live a a 60ft. High Bow Lazyday, 2 bdrms, bath and a half. Vessel is fully loaded. On the St. Johns River here in Florida. I have some ideas that would really take the eyes of others. Plus, a record keeping info. Just let me know and Happy Boating!
very nice. looking forward to more videos. a simple stick on towel rack with a small curtain will help with the bathroom window. easy to solve.
Great idea! Thank you.
I absolutely love your boat !!!
Thank you!!
Marissa Myer thank you your dog is really awesome as well so mellow, keep up the vids
Amazing!
Wow. That's great.
Thank you!
You are very pretty and thank you for this vids, I’m thinking of switching to a house boat from the city living
Very recommended! Good luck!
That upper deck is so cool. Hang some towels around the rails for great privacy.
Great idea! Thank you!
My life goals right here
Hahah do it!!!
Wow you stopped me in the season finale of a show cause this was awesome.
I’m glad!!! Thank you! Hope you watch my future videos about living on this boat!
Thinking about "maybe" living on a houseboat. I`m in west central Florida. They say the St. Johns River area is good. We`ll see.....lol. Wolf
Beautiful lil'' set up young lady.
Thank you Rudy!
Fantastic 😁 good for you 👍 😁
I like how you have your boat set up.
What is the length and width of the actual cabin and the overall length of the boat?
Nice 🚣, love it.
Thank you!
Just found you channel and can’t wait to watch passed episodes. What make is your tri-toon? I have a 2017 24’ Suntracker with a 150hp Mercury 4-stroke and doubt I could add that much additional weight. We’re any modifications made to accommodate for the additions to your home?
Great video... like some of the other comments definitely get your motor up out of the saltwater when not in use also get a mask and snorkel periodically check your pontoons for growth and use a plastic scraper to keep them clean just a fyi to help you out 😋
Yes the motor is definitely always up thanks!! Haha and great advice!!! Watch my cost video, I mention the yearly cleaning as one of my expenses. I might try it myself at some point too.
I like your boat. I would think the generator would get too hot in that enclosure. I may be wrong. Nice video!
Great..I've never heard of that but hope it works for you.
Thats cool as heck
Thank you!
You have a pretty nice setup there. The boat is laid out well. You definitely have some awesome views thanks for sharing.
Where the water flows Thank you so much!
Wow you have a beautiful house boat
Thank you!!
I`m the same way...except an "older version".....lol. I usually get antsy after a couple of years in ONE place....lol. As a matter of fact....RIGHT NOW !
Nice live 😄⛵🐶
Like it...keep it up
Thank you!
Very cool
Sick boat! Quick tip: when not running your motor trim it up out of the water, it'll save you a ton of money.
excellent info. He is on the money about this. the saltwater will cause serious problems. ask a neighbor how to do this.
Definitely a beautiful view. I'm sure if you have a boyfriend or partner they're definitely happy to visit you on that boat!
Super nice!
Thank you!!!
@@houseboatgirl4764 You know, you can fish off the stern of that boat and save on some groveries. Lots of good structure around those boat slips and the fish like that. Get yourself a floating light and set it in the water at night. you will attract all sorts of fish. I love your set up!
Makes me wonder how often the neighbor boats are occupied. Even if there were a conservative estimate of 20% full time occupants it would be a nice quiet place to rent from if the price was low enough.
They’re not right next to me actually! There are people spread out all over my marina. I really love all my neighbors, we are just in close quarters!
Wow, what a great girl, pretty too. You might want to tilt your motor up out of the water. Keep smiling, love your vlog.
Thanks so much!!!
Love it
Thanks!!!
Cool swinging helm!
Thanks!
Just discovered your vlog. Thanks for boat tour, really nice. Are you land locked or can you adventure to distant shores?
Thanks for commenting! I live on the inter coastal waterway, not landlocked!
what is your deck made of? it looks like a composite material but its difficult to tell....thanks! (love your houseboat!!! very clever steering)
Thanks for the comment! My deck is made of vinyl. Works perfectly for the environment. Thanks so much!
Gave ya a like and subscribed to support. Good luck
Very cool video, seems bigger then 24 feet, but it has everything you need, I live on 24 foot Dana sailboat in the Florida Keys, because I have adapted the boat to live aboard it away from a marina, I don't have to stay in one area, I usually sail to the Bahamas in December and return to Florida in June.....
So amazing!!! You’re truly living right on your sailboat. I’d love to do what you’re doing someday.
@@houseboatgirl4764 We live on it 6 months out of the year, the rest of the time we live in our RV in Nashville, but as soon as my girlfriend retires we well be full time on the boat or a newer bigger boat.....
What size has the boat? Long and width with meters? :) Lovely boat!
It’s a cute boat perfect for a single young lady like yourself. I think my favorite part was the bathroom sink, lol. If you don’t mind me asking what is the cost of a boat like this??
Thanks a lot! And check out my costs video:)
Are there any states in particular that are more accommodating to boats like yours?
What a tidy little ship. Lots of comfort in such a little space, too. But is that a Coast Guard-approved dog?
Thanks! And what do you mean coast guard approved?
Very good video. Good luck going forward. Simple is always better.
Solexx X thanks so much!
Slow down and look at the camera. Your video is not too long. Super cute boat. You've done a great job
Rose 🌹
Thank you!
Ahoy & thank you... Yesteryears; I offened pondered either marina cummunity / wonderlust of adventure. But 50 years of life happens. M'daughter's married off now..., {LOL}.
I can go... Fair winds to you...
Yah. 1000th subscriber
Yayyy!!!
Is the guy who made your boat still making and selling these? And if so could I potentially get a link? I’ve spent the last 3 years living in Busses and RVs and my last was an old 1980 VW vanagon campmobile that ended up breaking down and I’m thinking about trying a houseboat this time!
Hey HG, if you change the name of Untucked, follow the rules of the Sea Gods. You can google it, crazy I know, but it will give you good luck. It’s a simple ceremony. Love your boat.
I just filmed the ceremony, it’s my next video! Hope I did okay! Hahaha
Another beautiful girl
Cool dog
God speed 🌹🍀🌹
Thank you!
Very Nice!
How do You heat when offgrid?
Jacob Ernst Good question! I’d have to turn on the generator box. Same with air conditioning. It can be a little loud but works well!
Beautiful, so it cost around 47 thousand ?
nice and cute your houseboat but you its beautiful ;-p
Aw thank you!
How much was the boat? How much were the renovations? I have a 24' SunTracker that I've been thinking of converting.
Good questions! Check out my “Costs” video. Thanks:)
Where are you haven't heard from you how's the new job going????
How do you get rid of your black and grey water?
I've recently decided that I want to go to the houseboat life I've been living van life you might say for the last 6 months on a job site i am trying to purchase a abandoned houseboat that's out here in Martinez Lake I hear is real cheap wondering if you're still living in the houseboat and what problems have you had in the last year
Hi! Check out more of my videos, I explain a lot of the troubles and best parts of boat and van life. I recommend both for sure, it’s not for the high maintenance but it’s worth it!!
I realize this video Is very old but I noticed in the closet the wood at the bottom by the A/C has water stains.
If the boat is a rocking, don't come a knocking!!
She is cute😍
Wow nice I want a houseboat but I can’t with my daughter
Doesn't make sense if she's old enough to walk she's old enough to wear a life jacket when outside. If shes not you can get childproof gates or just lock or shut the damn doors. You can always get steel sliding doors. Theres no reason you can't do it now unless it's financials or emotional obligation. Oh and no reason not to put a balastrade around the boat and fill it in with plexi glass or mesh or wood or fibreglass or anything else that your mind can think of that is suitable for you and your daighter
Really great video, do you like living in a marina would you consider foing off grid later?
Robert Farinas thank you! I definitely want to mostly live in the marina, but take it out on extended mini trips and go completely off grid!
@@houseboatgirl4764 that would make some really great videos!
Robert Farinas agreed!!
Get some fishing rods and you'll be eating free, awesome setup enjoyed the vlog👍
Hahaha very true!!! Thank you!!
What does it cost you to dock at the marina monthly. Is it a lake marina or ocean and is it in California
It’s on the ICW, next to the ocean. It’s $320 a month for me!
Are you in salt water or fresh? Your engine has anodes that are to be replaced more frequently in salt water. They prevent your engine from rotting away. Do not neglect if you want your engine to last a long time. Maintenance is cheaper than replacement! Plus nobody likes to be towed...
Salt! It used to be a fresh water boat. My engine is down for the video but usually up! I clean it periodically because with where I am stuff still grows! I couldn’t agree with you more! Thanks for commenting!
The growth can be controlled by using anti-fouling paint. The anodes (all) should be done now! It's a Honda, which means it is very prone to rot. Not the best choice for salt water, but it's what you got so don't wait. Block anodes and externals. This is advice from someone with 32 years of salt water boat repair experience.
To save your motor from corrosion and growth(which could foul the impeller) install a power lift and flush with fresh water after use. get it up out of the water unless your'e using it. Tilting it up is ok but lifting
Wow great advice! I’ll get on it!
@@houseboatgirl4764 I'm surprised no told you about flushing and not to keep your motor down. most outboards have a flushing port. Also look at and change your anodes if they are bad.
you should raise the motor out of the water when not in use
dr reckoff Hi! Yes I know that’s what usually should be done, however my gas tank was actually built on too close to it and I have it up as much as possible. I clean it regularly so it doesn’t see much damage! All I can do haha
You are super cute like for real, your voice your Demeanor, your smile.... everything your just really super cute. Anyone would be lucky to be with you.
Aw thanks so much!
nice boat
Thank you!
you are very beautiful
I am so ready for my tiny pontoon houseboat I live in Montgomery Alabama and I am sick of paying apartment rent for beat-up ran down Apartments I need help I want to live close to Los Angeles on my tiny pontoon boat how would I go about doing that do I need an agent I would love to pay rent and live my life on the water I need help
I want to live on a house boat but I know nothing about boats ... did you have knowledge about boats before buying and moving into one ?
Great question! Not really honestly! You will learn as you go. Plus boaters love to help and share their knowledge. All I knew is that I wanted to live on the water.
@@houseboatgirl4764 oh okay. Well that great then 😅. I am looking to see how to go about this. This is my goal now for the near future. Boat life and van life. I wanted to do vanlife for a while but watching your video inspired me to go after boat life as well !
A half circle of obscured clear contact paper .Would work good see out but not see in.
Good idea!
