SEAGOING!!!! Hello all, hopefully i wont become bothersome. Anyway just purchased a 40 seagoing fiberglass houseboat, but cannot find anything about where the company was and etc. Any info or manuals would be appreciated.

newbie neil

SeaGoing was built in Florence Alabama. Most were steel but the last were glass. A surprising amount of these are still seen on the Tennessee River. They built boats up to the early/mid 70s.

thanx for the info, guess i had found that florence alabama bit on here with more research. I'm excited and a little frightened wondering what i've gotten myself into. haha  It sure seems like a brick stringers where i could see look brand new.  I'm trying to figure out transport options and being from the tundra up here with no marinas i think i need to purchase/build a trailer.  Any thoughts on weight? twin 318's v-drives, 40 foot flybridge etc. thanx again neil

UP where??? Please fill out your profile. Guess about 12,500 to 14,000 pounds.

Lake Metigoshe, north dakota, small lake, but international water, so pretty tundra like.  Guess there's a chance i could tug it with my f350, but had settled in on trying to use the freightliner. especially for the haul from Detroit, about 1200 miles.
