SINGLE OWNER | 2026 TOTAL SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION | 100% SOLAR INDEPENDENT
A 55’ x 17’ master-class in engineering. Meticulously maintained and operated by a single owner since its 2004 custom build, this vessel was fully modernized in 2026, ensuring the next owner’s continued boating autonomy for years to come.

SELF-SUFFICIENT SOLAR ELECTRIC – Using global engineering concepts throughout the houseboat’s design, this solar electric system doesn’t just support the boat’s electrical requirements, it supplies 100% of its needs – while providing for all the comforts and conveniences of home. A complete refit of the electrical and fuel systems per latest ABYC Standards ensures the highest degree of safety and reliability.
· Reserve battery capacity provides uninterrupted power delivery on cloudy days or at shady campsites. The outboard motors support battery charging when desired.
REVERSE FLOOR PLAN – The primary living areas, inside and out, are located aft of the boat for a more intimate connection with the water, open views, and shared experiences while beached. (see floor plan photo)
UNLIMITED DRINKING WATER – Water is drawn directly from the lake, filtered, then distributed to the various points of use throughout the boat – eliminating the need for any fresh water holding tanks, and ensuring healthier water.
EXTENDED CAPACITY – Oversized black and grey water tanks match your infinite power and water supply for uninterrupted canyon living. Its 300-mile fuel range puts any destination within reach.
UNPARRALLED STABILITY – The boat’s 17’ beam supported on heavy-duty 4’ wide x 4’ deep steel pontoons promote a steadier ride than any other boat in its class. The pontoons were re-painted with professional Amercoat in 2026 for continued performance and longevity.
ALL-SEASON COMFORT – With walls, ceilings, and floors insulated to modern residential building standards; high-performance doors, windows and glass; and all exterior wall and roof surfaces weatherproofed with an Energy Star Rated solar-reflective coating, comfort is achieved with significantly less energy input – summer and winter.
10-MINUTE WINTERIZATION – An onboard air compressor directly connected to the lake water input, quickly and easily purges water from pipes and fixtures – making it simple to winterize the boat in the fall, and still use it as desired during winter.
BUOY MOORING EQUIPPED – The solar system maintains onboard refrigeration and tops off the battery bank charge while moored.
TECHNICAL PEDIGREE & REDUNDANCY – Sale includes original CAD drawings and hundreds of "X-ray" photos documenting all electrical, plumbing, and low-voltage wiring inside walls and ceilings. Detailed maintenance records demonstrate the meticulous care this vessel has received since its inception.
EXPEDITION-READY SPARES – Extensive inventory of mooring lines and specialized spares, including two additional fully-serviced gear cases.
THE "BLANK SLATE" ADVANTAGE – Unlike most pre-owned houseboats, this vessel has been professionally prepared for a new owner. All personal items have been removed and walls have been repaired and repainted. It is a clean, fresh "blank slate"—ready for you to personalize your living space from day one without the burden of someone else's unwanted gear.

On a personal note – It’s been an incredible journey for my wife and me, our children, grandchildren, extended family, and friends. From nearly a decade of planning, designing and building our dream houseboat, to 20 years of amazing memories onboard her, Father Time is catching up with us. So, it’s time to close this chapter, and pass our beloved Lake Powell home on to the next owners who will hopefully enjoy and cherish her as we have. What could be better than that!
