Yukon Delta! Had one for many years. Had a 350 chevy engine and a upper helm station. They are awesome boats!

I acquired a Yukon Delta houseboat about six months ago. There are very few videos on KZitem about these boats. I got it out of Florida because the price was right, (free) and I could see possibilities. Like yours, it had been sitting for a several years. The old guy who owned it and had dreams never got around to it and died. So, his son and daughter-in-law just wanted to get rid of it. The trailer was in bad shape, so I had a hard time getting it home - a 250 mile trip. My boat has some hurricane damage to the hull, but I think I can repair it. I think it sunk at the dock. Your boat looks like lots of room in the interior. Mine is 21' long and was setup for an outboard originally. We both have our work cut out for us. I look forward to your videos showing your progress.

Oh wow! I went a little over 500 miles to get my Yukon. I knew the tires would be bad so I brought new tires/wheels to swap out once I got there but the trip went smoothly fortunately. These boats have so much potential and I believe will be a lot of fun. We definitely have our work cut out for us though!

Hello from the quiet sunny Ozarks Jake! Another video of value. Hope your well and enjoying your day. Enjoyed spending time with your adventure and that your boat floats! I grew up in Conway and have family near Heber springs. Looking forward to rebuild and discover the red and white rivers! Tight lines and bent poles!

Did you just start ripping out the flooring to check for leaks or is there a place in the floor that you can sorta inspect under it? I've got a '75 YD and it sat for years too. Someone put plywood right over the original flooring to firm it up but I need to be able to check for leaks like you are in this video. Good or bad, my interior is in really good shape & I'm hoping I don't have to take everything out to look under the floor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My floor was all soft when I purchased the project so I ripped it out since I had to replace it anyways. I have seen people put access panels in the middle that could be used for inspection, however there’s a good chance it’s filled with foam under your floors so you may not be able to see much.

These 2 guys have good projects in progress. There aren’t too many of these boats around since manufacturing them ended years ago. Would it be weight saving to use composite boards instead of wood?

Old boat guy here. Bro, not to be a downer, but.......Cut your losses and find another boat. Have you priced outboard motors? lumber? Fiberglass? What is your time worth?. You could put 10K in that boat, very easily, and it wouldn't be worth 2K. People are lamost giving away complete running houseboats, with trailers. I bought a very solid 36 foot houseboat with a steel hull, trailer and running 6 cylinder GM motor for $500. I wish you well, and please don't be offended by my advice, it was free. Good Luck!

That's not very nice to say to him, he's super excited and obviously has a dream & skills. They're giving away steel hull houseboats because they are nearly impossible to insure & most marina's won't let you dock them there.
