Myacht Houseboats

A typical Myacht Houseboat

Wondering what information is available about Myacht Houseboats? Can anyone tell me anything about a Myacht? Are they good or bad? What are the pros & cons about these houseboats.
Thank you, Jo Ann Coughtry

Well Jo Ann, from what I have read and heard, they are a very good aluminum pontoon houseboat, with a long list of available options.

For someone looking for a good starter houseboat I don't think you can go wrong with a Myacht.

Hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their experiences with the Myachts to help you out some more.

Myacht houseboat service, quality, and value.
by: Anonymous

They apparently have shut down production on houseboats, hopefully weathering the financial storm, not surprising but I'd bet there are a lot of boat builders in this situation.

To their credit I had purchased the last 55ft model made last year and had several issues with it so they have come back and picked it up and are fixing it at the plant.

They have gone out of their way to make things right. I am very pleased with the service just a little disappointed in this boat, but as I have previously stated I have had 2 of them, and would buy another!!

Great houseboat for the money, hope they begin production in 2010 again..

Myacht houseboats not building right now...
by: Andrew

Myacht is a good boat. At this time they are not building any houseboats. Destination Yachts is owned by one of the founders of Myacht.

They sent me information on the line of boats they build. They have models that are just like the Myachts but they also custom design the floorplans and offer more high end finishes.

They are very well known out west. They even built a 22 x 75 for Craig Jackson of the Barrette Jackson Auto Auction on the speed channel. I also saw that they are now building some kind of hybrid hull that is the safest full hull and will have twin IOs.

Houseboat Flooring Questions
by: Anonymous

I have a 2000 3510 Myacht houseboat. When replacing the carpet we found that it was glued to aluminum. We replaced it with a pergo style wood. We LOVE our houseboat!!

48' Myacht houseboat owner
by: Joe Briggs

I've owned my 48' houseboat for three years and have not had a real problem. The house-boat is basically maintenance free with aluminum pontoon and decking. I have twin Merc 90's and it performs fine.

We moved from a large cruiser, for the sleeping quarters and have not regretted it at all. Fuel consumption and maintenance is minimal compared to traditional houseboats.

If you can find a clean used one you'll probably love it. They are hard to find and Tracker Marine aren't selling to retail. I believe they are only contracting to large rental companies out West.

Myacht houseboats
by: tom

Unfortunately they have quit making houseboats for the time being.. there appears to be no website and no boats available at this time.

They are still in business building boats but the economy has hit them like most companies and they have put houseboats on hold..

But to their credit they are coming down to Arkansas this week to fix some things on the one I took delivery on in March of 2009.

They have been really pretty good about sending me or bringing me things I needed to get it where I hoped to be.

Mine was the showboat 55 and has a few problems I would have hoped were fixed prior to delivery, but like any new or used boat you ARE going to have problem.. welcome to boat world!!

If you are really interested in a boat call Steve Mason at 417-873-5970. He could tell you more. Good luck, Tom

Hard to find dealers and pricing in Canada
by: Newton

The Myacht web site doesn't even show the models available, or the prices. The site should be set up like Suntracker Pontoon boats, where there is full information.

Major work on our Myacht houseboat
by: Sarah

We have a 4815 Myacht Tracker 2003 houseboat. This is our home in the Florida Keys. We bought it used in 2006.

We have had some trouble but I believe a lot of it had to do with the lack of attention that the first owners gave.

The Mercury outboard motors are pretty much done, and the water line was above the bottom paint....bad news.

We have done major renovation inside to suit our needs and we also replaced the aluminum hulls with plastic pontoons (www.plasticpontoon.com by wilson distribution). So far so good but a lot of work for a 6 year old boat.

I would love to see pics of other Myacht Trackers, swap questions, ideas, etc.

by: Anonymous

Destination Yachts is now coming out with a price point line of boats to fill the gap that Myacht has left. The first will be a 14 x 48 two bedroom with twin engines.

This boat will sell for about $145,000.00. The owner of Destination Yachts was the founder of Myacht..... They also have most parts available for the Myachts.

Myacht houseboats are great
by: tom

I have had a 1997, 4313 Myacht houseboat which was a great starter boat.. I bought it used and was so pleased with the help I got from Myacht, and also the parts people at Tracker Marine.

I wrote the owner and told him how great his people were..
I now have a new 5515, that was the last boat made by Myacht and the boat show boat in 2008..

It is wonderful.. we have really enjoyed it and the factory folks have traveled to Little Rock 3 times to fix stuff.. they have all been wonderful and I would buy another one!

Myacht is now under the Suntracker name which I am not as pleased with, but the new boats look great and have an amazing amount of available options..

I just think the economy has gotten to them just like GM!! I hope they survive.. For the money, there is not a better houseboat on the market.. Tom.

Mercury Outboard Recalls
by: Mark

I have a 2003, 4815 Myacht houseboat, and we have very much enjoyed this boat and spend as much time as possible on it...the only concern that I've had is with the two 60 hp outboards...

If you keep them running once a month and use gas additives you will have less problems...My issue has been somewhat complex. I received a factory recalls on both motors...apparently the voltage regulators have issues.

Mercury is willing to make the repairs but they want me to tow the boat to a factory authorized dealer or pull the motors out and take them in...this doesnt make since as the cost of either would be tremendous...

Mercury folks are very firm on not assisting me...if you have any ideas please indicate...other than that, this is a great houseboat...

Thinking of buying a Myacht
by: AL

I have a 2002, 48x15 Myacht houseboat, purchased new in May 2002. We're very happy with the boat, and I have every option Myacht has to offer.

It's powered by twin 90hp 4 stroke engines, the only bad thing I can say is service from the factory and local dealer were not that good. I had to call the factory several times to get problems fixed, and now everything is fixed.

I missed most of my first season because the houseboat was not running well, and I could not get Myacht to come and fix it. They were giving a lot of reasons like, how busy they were, or didn't have anyone to send out to look at it. It took telephone calls to the GM at the plant to get everything fixed.

After that, everything has been great with the houseboat.

Hi Jo Ann, I just purchased a 50x15 Myacht houseboat in November 2006. Are you still considering a Myacht?

Myacht survival?
by: Anonymous

I have been considering a Myacht houseboat for some time. However from all I am hearing and reading, this company may be "on the rocks" (no put intended)

This is a huge investment for me, and I am going to have to wait until I hear some better news about these folks.
