I wanna see how they fixed the towbar to the boat.
lol @ the tiny outboard motor on the back – that thing must weigh about as much as a small car…
Hard to believe that that thing can actually move on the water, and not just sink.
They did a prety good job:
It floats above water, so they used enough 55 gallon drums or soda bottles. And it’s level.
I hope the person steering that outboard can see what’s in front of that boat. I’m sure they figured something out.
As opposed to a non-redneck houseboat?
I would so rock this thing! this is awesome!! PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!
this is actually really cool.
Add whirlpool and satellite dish on 2nd floor and voilà!
That’s a chick magnet (if you like toofless women with cankles and bingo wings)
I think the deck — replete with a home office and Batsheba-on-the-roof tub — makes this a real standout among hillbilly houseboats.
Well played. I’d take it on the lake any day. And I’m only half hillbilly.
redneck houseboat is redundant
After a long day of fishing, ain’t nuthin’ better than a nice trailer to retire to.
How’d they get that trailer off the ladder in the last photo?
Yo dawg, we heard you liked houseboats! So we put a house on this boat, so you can sit around at home while you fish, while you blah blah hurr durr…ARGH! I want one so bad!
OMG I want that!! throw some solar panels on top. steer it out in Tampa Bay and free rent bitches! Taxes you say??? siiiiike!
I think this is awesome! I love the fact that he has to have the curtains open at both ends to see where he is going. Redneck ingenuity rocks.
I think this is from a group of self-styled “river punks” who were featured in an article in Harper’s Magazine. Evidently, they tried to go down the Mississippi on this.
Oh heres a Fail!
LOL rednecks are like todays macgyver
Sorry, reading the archives, but I had to add:
There are most certianly non-redneck houseboats out there!

@brink
Then get knocked out by a hurricane easy. That can’t stand up to sea waves.
“replete with a home office and Batsheba-on-the-roof tub”
You do realize that “replete” doesn’t mean “complete”, right?
@Jojo
Search for some newer luxury houseboats… they can cost several million dollars and be more luxurious than even the Presidential suite at the Ritz.
haha. These are acctually my friends, they are the best! One of the guys acctually build those floating rafts that the campervan is placed upon. They went on a well known canaltour in sweden kalled Göta Kanal.
I posted the link to their traveldiary homepage, there are more pics there and text about their trip. They usually spend their time doing a lot of adventures, one of them is a kitesurfinginstructor that studies medicin and went to live on a deserted island somewhere in mikronesia, another one is a photograper who went on a hot air ballon trip over sri lanka rainforest doing some filming, and the other guy just drove off to south africa one day.
@travis
don’t you mean Todays rednecks are like Yesterdays(years) Macgyver?
I’m such a genius.
@Jojo
Very good point!
@What Haveyou
Actually, it does: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/replete
I love the fenders/bumpers. What exactly are they planning on tying up to on the same side as the ladder?
name the vessel?? HUNKAJUNK RON
I THINK ALL BOATS NEED A NAME? ESPECIALLY THIS VESSEL?????????????????
THE AFRICAN QUEEN
@Droll not Troll
is that a bunk bed.
hey, that’s not a half-bad idea.
@fredric öslöf If what you say is true, then these guys are “no limit” for sure! What ever happened to their party boat?
Did they sell it? They should have put this thing on eBay or something. I’ll buy that for a dollar.
… got ‘er done
love the roof top terrace. where is this piece of genious?
Still more seaworthy than the Steve Irwin from Whale Wars.
Hi, I Love it. Upon the top deck is that red thing a redneck jacuzzi or a clothes hamper?. LOL just kidding Cindy
OMFG i SOOOOO want to try dis
Coast Guard report; Found vessel nagivating in a canal. Ticketed vessel for not displaying proper registration and found brake lights not properly located for navigation lighting.
OMG…DNR officers where I live would have a field day with this “watercraft”-they’d be writing tickets for DAYS!
@nukemdomis
They got it sold after that trip actually, this picture is from some years ago. They figured in all of the big swedish newspapers that summer, everyone who meet them was amazed that it even could float.
As I said, these guys are always into something new, one of them, Greger for instace has actually built a doubbeldeck bike buy wwelding together two bikes on top of each other and connecting the chain from the upper bike with the lower. He still rides it sometimes! They are really great people, they’re always up for a laugh!
Zombie outpost escaped, now on the run.
my first thought was Steven Spielberg was making a updated Huckleberry finn movie
Paul,
When you and Reba go on vacation again. Nothing but the best for you two.
Duuuuude – Redneck Hippie Win.
Did anyone ever see ‘Meatballs’?
I love this thing. Genius at work.
