Carri-Craft Catamaran Houseboat?

Is this a Carri Craft Catamaran Houseboat?

Is this a Carri Craft Catamaran Houseboat?

The catamaran houseboat picture above is very appealing. It looks like a catamaran house boat, and the hull looks great.

Can you please tell me who is the houseboat builder?

Reply - Answer
Yes Yani, that houseboat is a great looking catamaran. From my knowledge, it is a Carri-Craft Catamaran Houseboat, and I would presume from the late 60's.

I think it's a 57 foot Carri Craft with a fiberglass hull, and twin engines. They look very nice with the raised pilothouse, and have plenty of living area.

Hopefully some of our readers who have more experience with the Carri-Craft can share and post comments.

1968 Carri Craft houseboat
by: Russell

Your picture is exactly the same as our 68 Carri Craft before the wider walkaround was added. Not having gunnels makes single handling a bit rough when you have to run through the boat to catch a stern line in a cross wind.

Answer; add a walk around gunnel. This is probubly an addition you won't see every day.... if ever! Drawback? Well, try telling the haulout people that your beam is 16 foot but is reduce-able. Yeah, suck it in and tighten the slings.
Anyhow, I'd almost swear it is a "68"

Carri Craft Houseboats
by: Anonymous

I've been looking at some used Carri Craft houseboats too. They look to be built pretty well.

Some have a pilot house way up front and up high, other have it back a bit and more deck room up front.
