Summary
This video features a tour of Steve's 1998 PlayCraft houseboat, affectionately named "The Creation Station" (7:29). The presenter highlights its features and discusses why it's an ideal setup for river exploration, especially on the Tennessee River.

Here's a breakdown of the key aspects discussed:

The Dinghy/Skiff (2:20): Steve's smaller boat, a center console johnboat skiff, is emphasized for its versatility. It can reach speeds of over 30 miles per hour (2:45), allowing for quick exploration of distances and backwaters before bringing in the main houseboat. The advantages of a center console design include comfortable standing, wind blocking, easy docking on any side, and room to walk around (3:07).
Aferiy Power Unit Sponsorship (3:59): The presenter discusses his positive experiences with Aferiy power units, highlighting their outstanding equipment and excellent customer service. He notes the 1800-watt power unit's ability to charge at 500 or 1000 watts, making it versatile for different generator sizes (4:09).
Houseboat Features and Modifications (5:13):
Landing Pull-Out (5:16): The houseboat has a short landing pull-out, which Steve extended with a custom 8.5 to 9-foot wooden one for easier beach access.
Interior as an "RV on the Water" (0:23, 6:10): The houseboat is described as feeling like a hotel room or a luxury motel, an "RV on the water" (0:09, 12:06).
Comfort Features (6:20): Steve has modified the interior by removing a table and bench to add heated, vibrating recliners that can be moved onto the front deck.
Sawdust Toilet & Propane Fridge (6:49): He replaced the plumbed head with a sawdust toilet and is installing a propane fridge for extended boondocking.
Cameras & Monitoring (5:52): The boat has two forward-facing cameras with a loop, allowing Steve to monitor his skiff when towing it.
Size and Stability (10:05, 10:41): The houseboat is 8.5 feet wide and 33 feet long (11:27), feeling solid and stable like a "barge" (10:50).
Expedition Vehicle & Retirement Setup (9:07, 13:17): The entire setup is described as an "expedition vehicle" (9:07) perfect for retirement, allowing for extensive exploration of the river (13:19). It offers multiple ways to get heat and water, and is ideal for long weekends or adapting for longer-term living (19:25).
Suitability for Non-Handy Individuals (18:49, 20:34): The presenter emphasizes that this type of houseboat is a great option for those who are not "handy" or don't want to build their own shanty boat, as it's essentially a "beautiful looking RV that floats on the water."
