They launched the largest House boat on Dale Hollow, a 120ftx22ft. There are videos on facebook of the launching etc. I think it was at SunSet marina. It took some work to get it launched with a crane involved etc.
This link may work if I did it OK. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1215727796873410

I’ve been following this too, boat is massive. Makes me wonder what the largest house boat on any lake is?
It appeared that the low boy trailer is was on bottomed out trying to dump it, they wound using a crane finish launching.

Geezz, taking up the entire ramp. Ramp hog!
If professionals who's careers depend on catching fish use FFS then that's what I'm using. Might be too simple of a philosophy but makes sense to me.
Dang. Dale Hollow is just a beautiful lake.
I bet they had to “flash” that motor.

I’d like to see the engine compartment,generators etc probably has bow thrusters etc.
They submerged the back deck,boat is ruined!! Might as well sink it out there and make it fishing structure
Wonder what it cost to rent for a week if it's available for rent ?
We rented a 45 ft. houseboat in 1986 with 5 guys for 2 weeks, lots of fun but you could get into trouble very easily if not carefull, that boat is an accident waiting to happen. Wait until the wind catches it or you have to dock it. With a 90 hp outboard we were filling up every 2 days (4-5 hours of cruising time daily), can't imagine how much fuel that boat would go through.

That is not a rental!
I wonder what the Launch fee is. There is a ramp on my local lake that charges you based on the size of your boat 0-22' "X-amout" 22-30' , "contact us for anything over 30"
Triton 19 XS Elite, 225 Mercury Pro XS, Minn Kota Ultrex 112, Hydrowave H2,10' Power Pole ONE PUMP Blades, Power Pole CHARGE, Lowrance HDS 12 and 16 at console, Lowrance HDS 9, Garmin LiveScope at bow, Mercmonitor, Rigid Industries Deck lights and other stuff to come that will make me go more broke
Truck driver definitely earned their money?
How about a Cumberland L. Aircraft carrier!https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...7/DSC00181.jpg
I would guess it’s a 750K Houseboats?
More than $2 Million and three years to build.Originally Posted by kacordy
We have a few that size at Lake Powell, They are three stories tall. Some have Heli-Pads on top. 2-3 million is a better shot at cost.
Some of those are built here in Ky, there are Ky built House Boats on the Amazon and Nile rivers among others.

All that money and no trolling motor.
There's one on Murray like it , its used as a supper boat while touring the lake
There have been several TV fishing shows on Cumberland like the Lindners and others where the crew set up base operations on rental houseboats. I remember them at my marina Grider Hill with the Lund's. Randall Gibson was the top Striper guide and was featured in several TV fishing shows along with Lance Sasser and others.
