Here’s a quick video I made of The Pink Flamingo. Sorry for the poor quality but it’s the first video I’ve tried making but it should give you a good overview of the boat.
Some of the main features of the boat are:
1.) 34′ houseboat with 6′ swim platform for a total length of 40′. Beam (width) is 13′-2 or so.
2.) Everything works. We just had it out the other weekend with 10 people on board and easily could have put another 10 or 15 on board.
3.) Completely remodeled. This is one of the nicest most comfortable boat you will find in the under 40′ range.
4.) A true Queen size bed to sleep on. No being cramped in a v-bearth or aft cabin on this boat.
5.) The back cabin with the bed, bathroom, and kitchen is air conditioned with a built in marine air conditioning system so you DON’T have to worry about tripping over an RV type air conditioner that mounts through the top deck like many in this size range. The upper cabin with the bar we have never needed to air condition because we honestly open up the front windows and the top hatch and leave them open the entire time we are at the boat and it’s always worked best that way.
6.) UNIQUE SUBMERSIBLE SWIM PLATFORM. THAT’S RIGHT JUST LIKE THE LARGE YACHTS YOU CAN LOWER THE SWIM PLATFORM IN THE WATER TO SIT ON IT, SWIM OFF IT, LAUNCH YOUR PADDLEBOARD, OR LET YOUR DOGS HAVE A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SWIM FROM.
7.) Inside rear cabin area is 11′-2 wide by about 18′ long. Queen size bed, leather couch with dual recliners, kitchen, large fridge, large bathroom with 36″x34″ shower, and electric flush toilet. Again you won’t find anything with near as much room or setup as nicely as this boat.
8.) Upper area is 9’4 wide by 8′-4 long with a bar and lots of storage.
9.) Inside headroom is 6′-1 or higher.
10.) Top deck is 11′-8 wide by 18′ long. Lots of room to hang out with dual lounges that our friends love to sleep on.
11.) Single inboard engine with volvo outdrive. Runs great.
12.) No generator. We’ve never really needed one and if we do then I have just used a portable honda one that I use on the front deck.
13.) Pretty much everything comes with it. All the furniture both inside and on the top deck. Life jackets, swim floats, bedding, pots, pans, dishes, you name it. Literally jump on and go.
14.) Unique back shade sail and supports that can handle a hammock across the back swim platform. It’s where you’ll find me most afternoons if we are not in the water.
15.) No trailer. You’re not going to trailer a boat this size yourself and you probably only have to pull it out every 5 years or so for routine maintenance. Most things including the water pump can be done while in the water which is nice.
And a few more pictures of this great boat.


































And here’s a bunch of pictures from when it was last out of the water and we launched it in June of 2012. You can see how great of condition the boat is in and how solid the swim platform is built.
