Hey, I just took the tour on the houseboat pictures. These are great. Though it's not easy to think like in reverse. So the lounge is now the kitchen and kitchen is the lounge in real life? Addings, enlargings...
Maybe we can make an extra houseboat gallery on how it looked on the show in which episodes and than I think it would be easier to make comparisons to what was where and what has been altered since.
Just a thought, though.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

Thanks for the wonderful pics, Rocky. I have no idea of how big the houseboat really was until now. From the outside I could not imagine it has at least 3 bedrooms, 3 showers/washrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a laundry, not to mention lounge areas and a fire place! On second though it could all be possible given the fact that it did house a team of filming crew and actors at that time.

It appears that our beloved houseboat is a little maze with many secrets.

Um... it doesn't.
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. And the lounge,kitchen, open areas and fireplace can all be seen in the show.
I've just added an interesting piece of information to the page.

The upstairs area is built off-square to the bottom floor of the house. Much like two blocks on top of each other with the top one skewed like an 8 pointed star. This goes someway to explaining how the upstairs area has been changed. The angle of the skew has probably been altered to accommodate the new bedroom area.
So if you take a couple of pieces of paper of the same size and shape; Lay them on top of each other and then twist the top one in a clock wise position until it forms a star like shape you have the general idea of how the houseboat is laid out.

Wow... it's bigger than I thought. All those bedrooms and bathrooms. I guess Mac needed SOME privacy in his own place. I like the new blue color. So the name "Land's End" is the model name, does that mean there are OTHERS out there just like it???
That which has been established will endure even with time and at a distance.
I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.
It would be interesting capture some pics of the Houseboat from MacGyver TV Show, interiors and exteriors, and compare with the pics of the Houseboat today.
Yeah, . It ´s right, but I meant some pics together to compare, on the lef the MacGyver pic and on the right the real pic, or something like this.
Anyway thanks for the pics. I know that all this web page needs many work and many time. And it´s a very, very good page in design, information, pics and videos.
Hey, I just took the tour on the houseboat pictures. These are great. Though it's not easy to think like in reverse. So the lounge is now the kitchen and kitchen is the lounge in real life? Addings, enlargings...
Maybe we can make an extra houseboat gallery on how it looked on the show in which episodes and than I think it would be easier to make comparisons to what was where and what has been altered since.
Just a thought....I wonder if TV will ever put on a MacGyver show marathon (and show the houseboat like it used to be), like MTV did back in the early 90s for the Monkees? That would be so awesome.

That is a great idea!!!
I've added a comparisons page on my ever increasing to-do list. But in the mean time there's this Houseboat Gallery
Although this will depend somewhat on the reply I get back from the owners about where the internal scenes where shot.

It's great to know that the houseboat is real. For the longest time I wasn't sure if they shot interior scenes in a studio or not. To find out that it was the real deal is sweet.
Personally though, I liked the look of the original houseboat over the remodeled version.
Someday if I have the money, I would love to recreate the houseboat to have as a second home.
I've just updated the houseboat page to confirm that internal scenes where shot on a sound stage.
The owner hasn't been able to find definite answers for us yet, but I believe that with Nordmarks colleague giving confirmation as well as the various bits of evidence and scenes we have which all show the interior of MacGyver's house being somewhat different to the real house, we have the evidence to back up this idea.

I am just wondering how much a place like that cost in it locale, and age shipping cost etc, as we dont have anything like that where I live? I sure would like to buy that one in particular though (ultimate completest collector Syndrome..lol)
allways looking for trades or obscure Mac bits, I love swap shop.
