It's Kentucky Lake. We had a houseboat a couple of years ago at the
Town & Country Marina on Johnathon Creek, near Benton, KY. We lost it
to a fire at the marina. Our boat was two slips from the boat that
caught fire and exploded, catching surrounding boats on fire. We lost
everything, we only had liability insurance, and no other parties had
insurance. (Lucky us!) We purchased this 1970 Nautaline from a party
in Lake City, Minn, and we started down the Mississippi last year to
take it down to Kentucky lake. We caught a tug rope near Clinton, IA,
and we've had trouble since. Right now, we're at Two Rivers Marina,
across from Louisana, MO, having the boat repaired again. Maybe I
should take up flying instead of boating?

|We've had all kinds of trouble since. *Any help, suggestions, or
