22' Vacationaire - Houseboat Cruiser
Luger's Vacationaire houseboat, with V-bottom planing hull, sleeps four in the cabin - or more on seats or floor in the rear cockpit.  When lightly loaded, Vacationaire can plane with an outboard motor as small as 50 HP.  The houseboat's ample foredeck was 90" wide by 50" long; and boasted a spacious 94" x 80" after deck.

Specifications:
Centerline length: 22'    Width, maximum: 7' 11"
Transom width:  Top - 7' 10" ;   Waterline - 7' 3"

Outboard power on motor mount - long shaft preferred, short shaft satisfactory.  All inboard-outboard types also recommended.  I/O installation will not interferre with cabin entrance and will leave sufficient room on either side between seats and motor box.  Rear seat easily altered for such installation.

Power Requirements:
