2000 Fantasy Houseboat 19 X 88,

Brokered 2000 Fantasy Houseboat 19' x 88' for Sale - Full-Size Class A Aluminum Houseboat with Twin 5.0L V8 Sterndrives on Table Rock Lake (Stock #B-P15S18-00124)

American Water Sports is proud to present this brokered 2000 Fantasy 19' x 88' Houseboat - a full-size Class A aluminum houseboat that delivers the kind of lake-house-on-the-water lifestyle experience that defines premium houseboat ownership on Table Rock Lake. Brokered through our Kimberling City location (Stock #B-P15S18-00124, Hull #FJY00124B000), this Fantasy houseboat represents one of the more compelling houseboat opportunities at our brokerage operation - 88 feet of overall length with a full 19-foot beam, twin MerCruiser 5.0L V8 sterndrive powertrains, aluminum hull construction, and just 434 main-engine hours that work out to approximately 17 hours per year over the boat's life - the kind of careful, anchored-lifestyle use pattern that defines well-maintained vintage houseboat ownership. Houseboats like this Fantasy 19x88 occupy a genuinely distinct category in the marine market: they're not runabouts, not cruisers, not surf boats - they're effectively floating lake-house cabins with full liveaboard accommodations, multi-deck layouts, full galley facilities, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and the kind of extended-stay capability that turns a Table Rock Lake weekend into a genuine on-the-water vacation experience. For the family or extended-family group who wants the houseboat lifestyle on Table Rock Lake - premium Class A aluminum platform, twin V8 sterndrive propulsion, low-hour main engines, and the kind of full-size 88-foot footprint that delivers genuine multi-couple or multi-family weekend capability - this brokered Fantasy 19x88 is one of the more compelling houseboat listings at our Kimberling City location this season.

Why a Fantasy 19' x 88' Houseboat?

Fantasy was one of the well-recognized American houseboat manufacturers of the 1990s and early-2000s - building full-size Class A aluminum houseboats for the lake-house and extended-vacation houseboat markets that thrive on big destination lakes like Table Rock. The Fantasy 19x88 designation indicates the platform's defining dimensions: 19 feet of beam (full Class A houseboat width - meaningfully wider than mid-size houseboats and trailerable houseboats) by 88 feet of overall length (full-size houseboat length, the kind of footprint that delivers serious multi-bedroom liveaboard capability). At nearly 1,700 square feet of deck area on this platform footprint, the Fantasy 19x88 has more usable interior square footage than many lake-house cabins - and the multi-deck layout typically configured on houseboats this size adds the upper sun deck for additional lounging and entertainment space above the primary living area. The aluminum hull construction is the standard houseboat material choice for good reason: aluminum is essentially indestructible from a structural standpoint (no gel-coat blistering, no fiberglass delamination concerns, no rot issues), remarkably low-maintenance vs equivalent fiberglass construction, and with the kind of long-term service life that makes the 25-year-old vintage of this Fantasy houseboat largely irrelevant to the structural integrity of the platform itself. For the buyer cross-shopping vintage Class A houseboats on Table Rock Lake, the Fantasy 19x88 represents a well-proven houseboat platform from a recognized builder.

Twin MerCruiser 5.0L V8 Sterndrives - Proven Houseboat Powertrain

Power on this Fantasy houseboat comes from twin MerCruiser 5.0L V8 sterndrive powertrains - the standard houseboat propulsion configuration for full-size Class A platforms in this size class. The twin-sterndrive arrangement is essential for houseboats this size for two important reasons: maneuverability (twin engines with independent throttle control allow precise low-speed maneuvering for docking, mooring, and slip ingress/egress that a single-engine houseboat simply cannot match), and redundancy (with two independent engines, a single-engine failure still allows the boat to return to dock under its own power rather than requiring tow service). The MerCruiser 5.0L V8 is among the most-supported, most-easily-serviced marine sterndrive powertrains in current service - Mercury Marine has been producing the 5.0L platform for decades and parts/service availability through Mercury's authorized dealer network and the broad marine aftermarket is genuinely excellent. At just 434 hours per engine (depending on whether the reading is per-engine or total - please verify with the broker at walkthrough), these twin 5.0Ls represent the kind of low-cumulative-use powertrain condition that houseboat buyers specifically come looking for. American Water Sports is fully equipped to support MerCruiser sterndrive service through our shop. For exact engine-hour reading per engine, current outdrive condition, and recent service history, please contact our Kimberling City team.

The Houseboat Lifestyle - A Floating Lake House on Table Rock

Houseboat ownership on Table Rock Lake delivers a genuinely different boating experience than any runabout, cruiser, or surf boat - the boat itself is the destination rather than the vehicle that gets you to the destination. Standard full-size Class A houseboat layouts from this 2000 Fantasy vintage typically include: a full galley with refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, and counter space comparable to a small apartment kitchen; multiple sleeping berths in private staterooms or convertible-dinette configurations (typically 8-12 sleeping positions on a houseboat this size, often more); full marine head facilities with shower; central HVAC with dedicated air conditioning and heating; primary salon/living area with comfortable seating, dining table, entertainment system; large covered front deck with outdoor dining and lounging; upper sun deck (typical of houseboats this size) with additional outdoor entertainment space, often including waterslide, hot tub, or other premium accessories; rear swim platform and integrated boarding ladder for swimming access; and the kind of multi-day fresh-water and waste-tank capacity that supports extended-stay houseboat weekends without requiring constant marina pump-outs. For specific floor plan configuration, stateroom count, galley equipment, sun deck amenities, generator configuration, and HVAC spec on this specific Fantasy houseboat, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build specifics.

434 Engine Hours - Modest Use Pattern for the Vintage

434 main-engine hours on a 25-year-old houseboat represents a notably modest cumulative-use pattern - approximately 17 main-engine hours per year of average operation. This use pattern is genuinely consistent with how houseboats are actually used: the boat spends the vast majority of its operational time anchored at the dock or moored at the sandbar with the main engines off, running the onboard generator (separate from main engines) for HVAC, appliances, and accessory power. Main engines are typically only fired up for actual transit - moving from the marina slip out to a quiet cove, repositioning between locations, returning to dock at the end of the trip. Houseboat owners who use their boats heavily for weekend duty might still only accumulate 30-50 main-engine hours per year given this use pattern. 434 hours over 25 years is consistent with a boat that's been used regularly but not abusively, and that's been maintained as a long-term recreational asset rather than run into the ground. The good news on this engine-hour reading: twin MerCruiser 5.0L V8s at 434 hours each (or 434 hours total - please verify per-engine vs total at walkthrough) have substantial remaining service life ahead under normal recreational houseboat use.

A 25-Year-Old Vintage Houseboat - Honest Framing

Let's be honest about what a 25-year-old vintage houseboat means in 2026: this is not a current-vintage build with as-delivered cosmetic and mechanical condition. This is a vintage Class A houseboat priced accordingly within the brokered houseboat market - well below current-vintage Class A houseboat listings and below near-current-vintage premium houseboat production. What you're paying for at this price point is fundamentally a serviceable Fantasy-branded aluminum-hull Class A houseboat with twin proven MerCruiser 5.0L V8 sterndrive powertrains, the full 88-foot Class A platform footprint, and the kind of lake-house-on-the-water lifestyle access that houseboat ownership uniquely delivers. Cosmetic condition (gel coat or paint, upholstery, canvas, deck covering, appliance condition, HVAC condition, generator condition, electronics), specific cabin equipment, and the precise current state of all onboard systems will reflect the 25-year vintage - buyers should expect honest patina and plan for the typical refresh items that come with vintage houseboat ownership (appliance updates, HVAC service, generator maintenance, upholstery refresh, etc.). The good news: aluminum hull construction is essentially indestructible and the 5.0L MerCruiser powertrain is among the best-supported in the segment, both well-positioned for long-term ongoing ownership. For an in-person evaluation of overall condition, contact our Kimberling City team - at this vintage and platform size, in-person walkthrough is absolutely essential.
