The SURFSIDE 6 houseboat is located on the banks of Slaughter Creek at the Slaughter Creek Marina just before the bridge to Taylor's Island, Maryland. For many years it served as a US Coast Guard station.

Since the closing of the USCG Station Taylors Island there have been several failed attempts at operating it as a restaurant and bar.
Most recently it has been beautifully renovated inside and out. It has been enhanced with an enclosed deck and is now open as PALM BEACH WILLIE'S FINE FOOD AND SPIRITS. Wonderful food!
Absolutely - Depending on the age - it can range as long as 20 years
A boathouse is an enclosed building where boats are stored, whereas a houseboat is a boat that has been converted into a kind of apartment.
As much as 119,000 pounds if you're looking at a Skipperliner that is 75 feet long by 21 feet wide.
The draft is usually 8 to 10 inches dependending on whether you have a flybridge or not and the other amenities offered. I have looked at the different houseboating groups/sites, but it appears, I have the largest collection of information... yet I'm always hungry for more. Should anyone find any hidden in pockets or corners
on the boat, let me know.Greg Phillips

Francis and Bud Mills owned the co. he died in 2002 and a relative wanted to restart the company, but nothing came of it.
The last Yukon built, that I know of, was 1996. The first was in the late 60's
They ranged in size from 23 to 38 feet. I have 2 in my collection. 25 3/4 and 31
3/4. No I did not make up the 3/4...it is on the black and white page of one of my collection of paper goods. After restoring and then selling my 23 footer, I went for the larger Yukons...
I have looked at the different houseboating groups/sites, but it appears, I have the largest collection of information... yet I'm always hungry for more. If you should locate any old torn or almost destroyed paper goods...let me know
Just as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
we have houses so we are not on the streets and have something that we can call our own
