Our trailerable QUEST houseboat is equally at home poking around your favorite inlet or pulling skiers. Like the Gypsy, the QUEST is an ideal camping boat, either on the river or lake. Moor in a quiet spot for your base camp and use your dinghy to explore the shoreline or walk the edge of the river with your fishing pole.
There are sleeping accommodations for five, a roomy toilet room with a shower, a complete galley, big "front porch" forward cockpit, and the entire cabin top is a sun deck. Power can be provided by outboards or sterndrive inboards. With 100 hp you should expect speeds of 24 mph, 300 hp should give you 40 mph. Beaching the boat is easy. This is a boat that gives total self-containment possibilities both on the water and on the road. Construction is easy, even for the amateur.
The QUEST is more than a boat you will be proud to say you built; it is your ticket to a new vacation lifestyle.
