Heffleys' boat

This is a mid-sized motor-boat that was owned by Greg's family in The Long Haul since a few years prior, but later gave it away to some spanish-speaking men who helped them.

Role in The Long Haul

One day Susan had asked Frank to get some milk. On the way he found somebody selling a boat in his yard, Frank bought the boat and brought it to his driveway. Everybody was suprised and Frank said it was his dream to get a bout and that the family could spend weekends out on the water. Some days later, some people from Homeowners' Association told him it's illegal to park his boat in front of the house, so he moved it to the back. The whole summer it was not used, then in winter, Frank decided not to winterize it as it cost very much, and due to the freezing temperature, it made a big crack in the hull. Dad rolled the boat under the back deck and soon it was used to store unused items. In the summer, Frank decided it was time to fix it, but he found a family of Racoons living in an old washing machine. Later they used it to hold extra-stuff during the road-trip.Later after being helped by some spanish speaking men, Susan gifted them the boat as a "thank-you".
