Owner Quote
“My wife and I decided to use Sunstar houseboats to build our
boat due to the quality and attention to detail that George Roberts

and his team demands for each boat they build. We have toured

many brands of manufactures before purchasing and I personally

liked the simplicity of all the mechanical systems and the care

taken to engineer the internal structure. When we started the build

process George and his team were extremely accommodating in

answering question and also making available every option Sunstar

is capable of providing. George also keeps you engaged in every

step to make you feel like you’re part of the build.”

–Justin Busch, Murphysboro, Ill

Looking to 2018

According to the manufacturer, the past ten years have been a

challenge just to stay in business. To weather the storm, Sunstar

had to change its business strategy from new boats only to new

boats, remodels, and transporting boats.

What’s Trending Now:

“I see boat owners doing more remodels on boats they own

versus buying new boats. I also see customers buying a larger or

newer used boat.” – George Roberts, President
