1998 Stardust Cruisers 16x77 Houseboat

This 1998 Stardust Cruisers houseboat is a 77-foot aluminum hull powered by twin Mercruiser 3.0 engines with Alpha 1 outdrives and Propco reverse-thrust houseboat props. The engines were serviced in 2020, with new AFI fuel injection added in 2021 and approximately 1,650 hours of use. A 16-kilowatt Kohler diesel generator installed in 2021 provides auxiliary power with roughly 250 hours of operation and economical fuel consumption at 0.25 to 0.5 gallons per hour.

Accommodations include six bedrooms arranged as a primary queen cabin, two queen staterooms, two queen cuddies with one converted to storage, and a twin cuddy convertible to a queen. Two full bathrooms feature toilets, vanities, showers, and one includes a linen closet; an additional vanity and sink serve the lower cuddy area. The galley is equipped with an electric range, full-size refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and trash compactor. Laundry facilities—a full-size stacked washer and dryer—are situated in the rear hallway. Central HVAC, waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, and central heating via a 10-gallon water heater support year-round comfort.

The electrical and water systems reflect recent investment. Battery capacity totals 500 amp-hours (three 12-volt FLA units from 2024 and one large 12-volt AGM from 2021), supported by a new 2024 Magnum Energy 2,800-watt inverter, one kilowatt of solar panels with a 40-amp charger, and four 80-gallon fresh water tanks. Two 2021 Raritan Atlantes Freedom toilets with vortex-vac and Purisan systems provide freshwater operation without odors. New windows with screens were installed in 2021 along with upgraded wall insulation.

Exterior features include a 24-foot canvas party top added in 2018, new rail canvas from 2021, a large curly slide, front and rear stairs, a Pitthane top deck from 2019, a six-person hot tub, outdoor carpet, and marine-grade decking on the swim platform. A 12-volt hoist with tilt-up PWC rails facilitates water toy storage. A Fusion Marine stereo system with amplifiers operates across four zones, and both the upper and top decks include tables with seating for six. Coast Guard documentation is current.
