Liveaboard at a US marina
We have a ‘77 Harbormaster houseboat that we would like to live aboard in a marina somewhere in maybe Kentucky or Tennessee, maybe Alabama. We are not set yet on a destination. Right now we plan a trial run at it in Southern Missouri.
Most of the marinas here shut the water off on November 1. I believe I have the water problem figured out but as a side note if you have a unique way of storing water then I’d be happy to hear it.
Our problem is HEAT. I’m not convinced that oil filled heaters are going to cut it on most of those days in January when it can get really cold. I’ve looked into heat pumps that would provide AC and heat BUT the manufacturer indicates if the water temperature drops below 40 degrees F then you should use it. Unfortunately that when we really need it. If I winterize it then I would have to dewinterize it later. I could really use some good advice. I’m sure there are people who have run into this before.
