Some history about Steury Houseboats

A little history about them, they were known for their boats, and travel trailers, and ChrisCraft bought the Steury Company in the 70's. The Steury houseboats made, appear to be in the 1970's and in the early 80's.

Are Steury's small trailerable houseboats?

The Steury houseboat is a fiberglass tri-hull design of @ 23feet in length, 8 foot beam with a two level roof deck for relaxing. Having a good view from a raised pilothouse design, front & rear deck, a galley, a head, and ample storage for a couple looking to getaway for weekends.

One of the primary advantages to small houseboats, or should I say "small trailerable houseboats" is that they're very easy to trailer or transport from one location to another. So with a truck, or a big SUV you could trailer it and find all those secluded dream lakes begging to be explored.

They generally came with 120v-12 volts lighting, and most with 120v-12v-propane fridges, stoves, and inboard engines. You'll find many Steury House Boats that have been converted to Outboard engines, thus freeing up extra storage in the engine compartment.

Depending on the engine, you could cruise anywhere between 5-6 knots, to a fast planing speed of @ 20-25 knots, plenty fast to get back to the marina, your favorite fishing spot, or across the lake.
