    We spent a month at Ft. Loudon Marina a few years ago. Mostly covered slips. If you want to see some really big houseboats...100'...that's where to look.

    There was a great BBQ place in the marina and Knoxville is only a short hop.

    If the boat is in Smyrna, that means it is on landlocked Percy Priest Lake [a/k/a where houseboats go to die]. So, you'll have to truck it out of Priest. And, if you're going to do that, you might as well truck it all the way to Knoxville. Check with any marina on Priest for the names of haulers, as everything on that lake came by truck.

    Like Bill said, you'll have to truck it since you can't get here from there. It would make zero sense to truck it anywhere other than where you want to dock it, assuming they have a travel lift on site or at least close by. Unless you're getting a killer deal, you might want to look at something closer to where you want to be, or at least look at something on the Tennessee or a tributary.
