Here are a few good ones, albeit most of them are huge ships.

Havasu kind of looked like fun but after watching the vid's I don't think so, so much anymore. Partying is one thing but every camera person had to put down a beer and sounded well beyond partying.

Sounds like the guy just screwed up and got himself into a bad situation. Probably didn't know where he was going.
Thanks for posting Kevin. Only thing I would take issue with was the authorities were trying to stop him, but he wasn't listening. They probably should have stated as cmattj posted. That makes sense.

How the hell do you rent a houseboat that size? I would think the rental would come with a captain!

I can pretty much drive anything. And if there is a current there I would not have wanted to navigate out of there. I wonder if they got there before the party scene showed up, then decided to leave just a little too late?

"Sir, all I need is a credit card for deposit" then hands over keys to an 80' houseboat...thats how easy it is. I may have driven one under the waterfall at cumberland...not advisable BTW.

To be clear, I think this was all total BS and the guys was a total a$$. That said, would you have wanted to get off that boat? I have to think he feared for his own safety...
