Advertised yesterday on http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/reb/4751046462.html as a "Fixer Upper" the http://www.macgyveronline.com/pages/houseboat.html float home is listed at $36,000, a fraction of it's original $200,000 price tag. The listing states that the floats need repairing and the house itself is in need of some TLC, although non of the internal images show any obvious damage, there is visible damage to the railing on the outside deck.
The float home was originally used in seasons 3-6 of the long running action-adventure TV show 'MacGyver' where it was inaccuracy refereed to as a house boat - inaccurate because houseboats have motors for self propulsion and are designed as livable boats, where-as Float homes must be towed into position and are designed to remain docked.
The house was sold in late 2012 after extensive renovations had been carried out by it's then owners who had purchased the home after Paramount Studios had finished using it. At the time of their sale the house was in immaculate condition; listed as still being located at Grants Landing, Vancouver, the float home has now obviously been left to run down since the purchase.
Update: Jan 24, 2015
We've had confirmation that the home was sold on Jan 12, 2015. No further details are available.
I would love to see it get the attention it needs. It needs a MacGyver family to love it and take care of it. 
It's doable, 36 of us at $1,000 a piece. We each then get it for one week a year, which would leave 16 weeks to have it open to the public for tours. I'm on to something here or should that be I'm on something here? 
and I also like the idea of RDA buying it and turning it into a museum for his charities.
