True, it would take you an hour to travel ten miles in a houseboat at top speed, but it’s not like you have a hair appointment, ya ‘ole sea dog. Your house is portable. You exude “fuck it” energy. You are untethered to land and its social conventions. You can evade junk mail and possibly the IRS. You don’t have an exterminator. Good boat.
