Wife has a cousin who had a houseboat on Ouachita and she let us use it for a week one time when my kids were teenagers. Took my bass boat and the houseboat and went way back up in the lake somewhere and found a little U shaped island and anchored and tied off in that U and spent a week. To this day, both my kids will tell you that week was the best week of their life doing anything outdoors! Their mom and I enjoyed it as well. Back to reality........the closest I'll ever get to having a houseboat is like the name of this thread......."daydreaming"!
