Custom Enclosed Pontoon Boat Trailerable Camper Based on Crest Classic Tri-Toon

Description

For sale is a custom boat that is designed as both a tri-toon houseboat as well as a trailerable camper. It has only been used in fresh water in Michigan where I live and has been kept out of the water on a boat lift during boating season and then kept in heated storage over the winters. It includes all of the amenities you would need to live on the boat as shown in the photos. The boat has been in storage for 2+ years. The Minn Kota Trolling Motor and Anchor Windlass listed below, along with new batteries, were installed while the boat was in storage.
The Pontoon Cruiser began its life as a high end 2014 Classic Crest Tri-Toon Boat with a premium vinyl furniture package, lifting strakes, and full aluminum under-skin.
The boat was then fully customized by a high end fabricator using CAD drawings I had completed for exacting specifications. It took just over a year to complete the boat, and I began using it in 2015.
The complete package includes a Mercury 150 HP motor with only 208 hours along with a Genesis trailer that was customized for easy entry into the boat. This makes the boat perfect for dry land camping in addition to all of the usual water activities, and it’s a cinch to trailer at only 26 feet.
While this package could be described as a trailerable houseboat and camper, you’ll be amazed at how it performs on the water.
It will comfortably reach speeds over 35 mph and comes with a stainless steel tow bar for your favorite water sports.
The innovative sliding windows, popup rear window, and split door openings give you total control of the environment no matter what the weather conditions.
This is a boat that will allow you to significantly extend your boating season.
Stay dry when it’s wet outside and cool when it’s hot outside.
I used the boat with a Honda EcoBoost EU 2000i generator that ran a 14,000+ BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Heat and Dehumidifier. (NOTE: The Honda Generator and portable air conditioner/heater/dehumidifier are not included in this sale.) My family and I have had some great times on this boat.
Again, the boat was customized to provide many unique features not typically offered to pontoon boaters.
(You are free to contact me for a demo ride if you are in the West Michigan Lakeshore area. The boat is currently on Muskegon Lake on a boat lift.) Once again, this boat can best be described as a Luxury Edition Cabin Cruiser and it truly is a one-of-a-kind vessel.
Here is a partial list of some of the many amenities that are integrated into this luxury package:
Customized matching enclosure uses the same aluminum tubes used to manufacture the base boat as well as a one-of-kind aluminum roof with Scratch and UV Resistant windows and skylights made out of an innovative product called Makrolon.
(If you’ve ever looked through most boat windows and noticed how blurry they are, get ready to be amazed!
This special formation of Makrolon provides unprecedented transparency and clarity.)
Matching doors and sliders allow boat to be opened completely or closed off entirely.
All contain custom installed Makrolon windows.
Full galley with a high end Scandvik Marine, Inc. sink with a special faucet extension that doubles as a shower wand.
(See photos showing shower enclosure, faucet extension, and drain unit.)
In addition, the galley has a Norcold Refrigerator and Eemax Hot Water Heater with a water capacity of 15 gallons.
Shore power and generator power systems by Blue Sea Systems include a special shore power to generator power switch.
Custom mounted RCA TV/DVD Combo retracts into forward ceiling making it completely hidden and out of the way when not in use.

Two (2) NEW Batteries with ProMariner ProSport battery charger for motor and cabin.
Three (3) NEW additional batteries with ProMariner ProSport battery charger for Minn Kota Ulterra i-Pilot and Minn Kota Windlass Deckhand. (These were added when the boat was in storage they are basically brand new. They have only been used a couple of times since the boat was put back in the water this year.)
