Despite the rain, Houseboaters came out and enjoyed the First Ever On-Water Houseboat Expo!
The crew at Houseboat Magazine did a great job with the much anticipated On Water Expo!
Worldwide visitors came from Ukraine and Canada as well as many states
including
TX, OK, TN, KY, NY, OR, OH, NC, ME, CA, AZ, MN, FL, PA and more!
Below is a look at the 'Boatels' at State Dock where some of the attendees of the Expo stayed
Some attendees took advantage of the expertise that was on hand and participated in a
Captain's Course and learned how to dock a Houseboat!
Rain may have dampened the Cornhole Tournament but it did not keep crowds away for long.
Crowds were out before, during & after the rain.
This year's Expo provided many beautiful boats and several Show Stoppers!
Below is Sumerset Houseboat's latest creation that turned more than a few heads.
Thoroughbred Houseboats had a creation of their own that also turned some heads (below).
An interesting helm onboard the popular Thoroughbred.
Houseboats have taken on a whole new look.

Many new trends were noticed at the show.
Below is a well designed layout from Sharpe Houseboats that makes efficient use of the kitchen & dining room.
Below is the stunning kitchen on a Thoroughbred that an NBA Player would have been comfortable in.
Even the cuddies had over 7 feet of head room!
A new room was discovered onboard several of the Expo Boats...
the Laundry Room has entered the world of Houseboats!
And a dishwasher has found its way upstairs on the roof of a Houseboat!
Why didn't we think of this before? The Rooftop Wet Bar has now become a full kitchen!
And of course, YourNewBoat.com was right in the middle of all of the action showcasing its inventory of Houseboats for sale, assisting soon to be buyers, answering questions about all things Houseboating,
saying hello to old friends and making some new ones!
At YourNewBoat.com we strive to have the most user friendly website for your boat browsing and buying, so it only makes sense that we would strive to have a user friendly display of inventory for sale at the Expo.
As always, it was a pleasure talking to everyone at the Houseboat Expo.
