In this video, we’re checking out an awesome 1-bedroom houseboat that’s an absolute dream for life on the water! When the owner found it, this boat from the ‘80s was in pretty rough shape. He bought it as is for $27k CAD and with some help, he spent months gutting it and rebuilding it into a beautiful space with lots of character and functionality.
This boat is called N’eau Rush, and it’s 42' long and 12' wide with three great outdoor decks, and 240 square feet of cozy indoor living space.
David gives us a full tour of his boat, plus he shares some of the renovation process he went through, how much he paid for the boat and the renovation, and some of the advantages and challenges that come along with houseboats.
After rebuilding this old boat, he decided that he wanted to try and design a new one from scratch. To follow his journey into houseboat manufacturing, check out Bauhaus Habitat and their first model, Walter:

    • Thanks Cathy! Indeed they did a great job transforming it into this new living space but it does look like it was a ton of work! It has been pretty unpleasant here in Canada with the forest fire smoke but things seem to be getting a bit better now. We've definitely never seen this level of smoke for so long :( Anyway, hoping for a better second half of the summer for everyone, all the best to you and your husband :)

  • Best vacation of my childhood (80s) was with four families sharing two houseboats on Lake Shasta (CA, US). Swam, skiied, played games, read, and listened to Beach Boys non-stop. I didn't realize they weren't being manufactured anymore, so that's cool that he's bringing them back to life. Hope it takes off!

  • I could live in that full time. It's wonderfully cozy, a really good balance of affordability with enough creature comforts that keeps it from being a vacation-only option.

    • @@revdupartist9386 I had the same thought. I'm seeing this as living solo, I think a family living on this full-time might be a big ask, but one person (and their four cats) this is just right. I like the fact that with the dishwasher, a small sink isn't a big deal.

  • You're home is lovely and I love your kitchen. It feels so homey. Also, dining chairs do not have to match. Wouldn't it be fun to have two additional chairs that are similar but not exactly like the ones you already have. The only advice I would give is to follow your heart and trust yourself. Also, I would love to know about the paint you used on the living room walls. I want my bedroom to be that color. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

  • Belle Réno . J’en ai possédé un pendant 30 ans . Best time of my life . Même bateau mais pas rénové .( veut pas dire que j’aimais l’original ) . Pour la stabilité du bateau et ses manœuvres , je m’étais fait souder une dérive que nous avions fixé avec de# écrous su4 la mi dérive du centre . Environ 12 pouces de hauteur totale , pendant 30 pieds de long , donc partait direct où la pointe du bateau rejoignais la coque plate . Je l’ai beaché tous les jours pendant au moins 1500 jours et jamais la coque avant a frotté , juste la partie de la fine touchait le sable . Un moteur 5.7 litres fait très bien dedans l’espace moteur à place du 3.0 litres pis se comportait beaucoup mieux . Sylvain

    • In Canada and Quebec we use both, but it depends what we're measuring. Habit + the official switch to metric made in the 1970s. Confusing I know, but I doubt that is gonna change.
