HUGE CHEAP Houseboat 60' Monticello River Yacht | Harbor Yachts

1997 60' Monticello River Yacht Houseboat Walkthrough | HUGE Floating Condo in Bradenton, FL On land today in Bradenton, Florida, exploring this unique 1997 60 ft Monticello River Yacht houseboat — a massive aluminum-hull floating home with a 16 ft beam! Former liveaboard (owner stayed 9 months), it's got party potential, screened porch, multiple heads/beds, salon helm, and more. Dated 90s retro vibe inside (carpet, Formica), but tons of space for a cheap liveaboard, lake hangout, or family crash pad. Engines (inboard Crusaders) are locked up — owner suggests outboard repower like a previous similar boat. We check the huge bow porch, sliders to salon, galley, master with big closet/fan, second stateroom (musty, needs deep clean/carpet out), heads/showers (one needs tear-out), upper party deck (former steering console area — add slide/diving board?), screened porch views, and more. Aluminum hull + fiberglass top makes it solid; great for calm waters (lakes preferred over salt, but doable).
