ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to houseboats and powerboats. More particularly, this invention is directed to utilize electronic circuitry and controls, in combination with boat docking technology, that will allow a fully functional powerboat to be efficiently and functionally integrated into the stern of a houseboat. The powerboat functions normally as a stand-alone unit. When the powerboat is locked into the houseboat's stern docking station, and electronics connected, it functions as the drive and navigational component for the houseboat.
