Edwards Built Family Houseboats Dream-Design-Build. Builders of bespoke Houseboats and Day Boats. Over 20 years experience. Rod has the motto that you carry out the work like it was your own.

Rod and Lisa Edwards' passion for Lake Eildon started way back in the 80's. After spending nearly every weekend at Eildon up on their houseboat, they decided a was the way to go so they sold their house in the suburbs, move up here permanently in 2004 and have not looked back! The Lake has provided an amazing backyard for their 4 children to grow up on and now their grandchildren are all enjoying what the Lake has to offer. Rod and Lisa pride themselves on their no nonsense approach to Houseboats. They have a long standing reputation for always being honest and upfront, their new boat builds have an amazing level of care & detail that is often overlooked by others and any maintenance or repairs they carry out are always to an over and above standard. With 2 of their son's Brock and Chevy working alongside Rod & Lisa, the family run business can ensure that your houseboat requirements can be fully catered for by Edwards Built Family Houseboats.

Yard Update:

Bollinger is looking SHARP with its new floor to ceiling glass installed! A few more pieces to go and she’ll be as good as a new boat 🔥

Platinum has had its fly bridge removed and hardtop cut back in preperation for its upstairs extension! The reason to removing all this was due to extensive water damage. We’ve stripped it back to the roof, so we can ensure we fix the primary cause not just the result 💧

We’ve also got Lockdown in the yard for a sandblast & paint and some small repairs.

Endeavour II is in for a sandblast & paint as well as some upgrades.

Busy busy here at Edwards Built!

-The new Superboat is receiving its final touches before it hits the water in the coming weeks, what a boat! 🔥

-Impulse came back to us for the first time since we built it for a sandblast and paint as well as some upgrades. Check the before & after photos! The entertaining area upstairs is ready to be used this summer!

-Ulysses also came back to us since getting its rear deck extension and bow thruster install back in 2022. This time just for a sandblast and paint and a freshen up of the decks and gunnels!

-Bollinger is moving ahead steadily, plaster is done, duckboards and ski decks on, just waiting on the glass delivery to give you guys the new design reveal!

-Platinum has been getting carefully disassembled, the spa has been removed as well as all the surrounding fibreglass. Now the team is prepping for its hardtop extension!

The hydraulic side ski decks are mounted on the Superboat 🔥

We had a visit from some of the Yea High School students today. It’s great to see the younger generation getting some insight into how these boats are built and the opportunities available within the houseboat industry.

Great initiative to all involved 👏🏻

We also been busy working on the Superboat, having made all the hydraulic side ski deck components & installing the slides. We’ve also laid the aluminium decking on the newly built ski decks & made the targa legs which look a million bucks now they’re painted black 🖤

Bollingers ski decks have had the decking laid and is receiving the first coat of stain as we speak.

The superboat had all the intricate duckboard folding mechanism & slider boxes etc made last week, so this week we had the fun part of installing it all! It’s getting even larger 💪🏻

The targa bar for Impulse has been filled, sanded and fibreglassed.

Last week we headed down to the unveiling of Eildon’s newest tourist attraction, Alister the big King Parrot. We’re proud to sponsor this alongside other local community groups, hats off to Eildon Events Inc. for getting this done, great initiative 👏

This week saw the hardtop craned onto the Superboat build.

The Generator/Storage pod on the Super boat has been painted, plyed and the Gen lifted into place and is ready for the mechanics & electricians.

We’ve also been busy manufacturing and installing the gangplank and cradles on both the Superboat and the lockup we’re doing!

The engine pod is built for the lockup and ready for install ⚓️

Bollinger has been internally framed and palmets installed. This boat is going to be magnificent after its transformation!
