10-4. I was just curious because I really want a house boat or one of those condos in the marina one day.
I have stayed on many houseboats and they are just something I don't want to fool with. I have young kids and would be very worried about the falling over the side while not watching. Also when a hurricane comes you have to move the houseboat to safety. Just too much involved with this. With a camp you can insure it, if it blows away, floats away file claim put a new one there since you own the land. Also slip rentals in Venice marina have gotten to be highway robbery.
THe condos aren't a bad idea but no land and a few other negatives. I am happy to be where we are...

We did the Cocodrie shuffle for many years and that is one thing i do not miss. Every time a storm even remotely got close it was a 10 hour ordeal to break everything loose and tow it up to Houma. Not to mention you need to drydock and inspect/clean/paint the bottom every few years. With the family owning a shipyard it wasn't a big deal for us but without those resources at your disposal it would be a hassle not to mention costly.
