Is a Stardust Houseboat, a new Stardust Cruiser house boats?

We're looking at Stardust houseboats, and wondering if they are the same as Stardust Cruiser house boats?

Our budget can't let us get a newer boat, but we like the Stardust Cruiser models, especially since we can afford one.

Is there anything we should know before investing our money in an older house boat like a Stardust?

We really love this site, it's full of great articles. Susan

Well Susan, welcome to the houseboat forums, and congratulations on your decision to buy a Stardust houseboat, or a Stardust Cruiser.

You asked if there was anything you should know before investing your money in an older houseboat. I am glad you asked.

You want to make sure that any purchase is conditional on a satisfactory marine survey. Have a mechanic verify the electrical and mechanical systems beforehand. Check the condition of the roof and decks.

You may want to make sure that any steel hulled houseboats get fully inspected and are in good condition. You don't want to be stuck paying for re-plating the steel hull.

There's a good article for newbie houseboat buyers that may interest you.



Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their experiences with Stardust Cruiser houseboats. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.
