House boats


Recommended Posts

Does anybody have any information on used houseboats for sale. We spend a lot if time on both rainy and Kab each summer and are toying around with the idea of buying our own houseboat.

Take a ride out to Rainy Lake Houseboats and talk to Tom Dougherty. He may know some people who are trying to sell houseboats. They have private slips in back where people pay to leave their own houseboats, usually around 8-10 back there.

I was thinking about getting a groups of guys together this summer and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for houseboats on Rainy. I pulled up the Rainy Lake Houseboats website and checked it over. It looks really good just curious if anyone elsse has any other recomendations for a houseboat outing?

deepdiver,

There are two places to rent houseboats from on rainy, Rainy Lake Houseboats, and Northernaire houseboats. Both places have owners who will accomodate your needs and do what it takes to make your trip pleasant and memorable. Fish and Fowl will know a little more about Rainy Lake's boats than I do. I beleive most of them are inboards and they have a wide variety of sizes to accomodate your group. Northernaire's boats range from a 32 footer to the 55'x18' aurora. All Northernaire's boats run 70 horse evinrudes. The princess series runs four strokers as does the aurora. The rest run two strokers, but are quiet underneath the motor covers. Check our their website to find out more. You can't go wrong with either company.

A houseboat is a great way to see Rainy and all it has to offer. As T-L said, both companies have great accomodations for their customers. Their websites should have all the info you'll need to know, just gotta pick a few days and hope the weather cooperates.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
