Classic Houseboat Manufacturers - what brand, model, or make of boat?

by Tony
(Florida)

Classic Houseboats - older brands, models, or makes of boats?

Classic Houseboats - older brands, models, or makes of boats?

When it comes to classic houseboat manufacturers, we are trying to identify what brand, model, or make of boat this is? This older houseboat was given to us, and we are restoring it.








The roof was blown off in a hurricane so it is not original. Does anyone know the manufacturer? It has a shallow draft and is about 26 - 28 feet long.

Thanks, Tony, Florida, USA

Well Tony, congratulations on your new houseboat acquisition.

The houseboat has some similarities to some of the popular names like Fisher Craft, Nautaline, Chris Craft, Silver Queen, Holiday Mansion etc...

I would say (and am not 100% sure) that it is an older Christ Craft Aquahome houseboat model from the late 60's. You may find a HIN number on the houseboat hull which could help you positively identify it.

Lastly, hopefully some of our readers and visitors will share and post comments about their identifying older classic houseboat brands and models.

Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.

Identifying Houseboats - I have the same boat
by: Jeff

It's called a Pixilate. Possibly mid to late sixties. I have the exact boat. Jeff

Houseboat Identification - the identity is likely a Drifter-Cruise
by: BarryG

This looks a lot like a Drifter or Drifter-Cruise houseboat from the mid sixties to me. They made a 26 or 28 foot model, as I recall. Chris Craft's smallest houseboat was 34 feet, I think.

What a great classic houseboat.
by: Anonymous

Wow, nice gift. Speaking from experience, check into the cost of insurance for a vintage boat. Fewer and fewer underwriters are interested in covering houseboats especially as liveaboards.
