This is a 28 foot boat.  It has a sun deck and a cabin that goes all the way across the deck.  This was a popular style for smaller boats as it maximized cabin space, however boaters had to go through the cabin to get from the bow to the stern deck.  Jordan boats were produced in this style as well as with walkways on one side and on both sides like the one above.  Single walkways were always on the port side. Notice the tiny outboard motor.  In those days large outboards were uncommon.  This is probably a twenty to thirty horse motor.  A boat this size could easily be maneuvered with this size outboard.  The colored pontoons were a rarity on these boats.  This craft is at the Louisiana State Fair Grounds being readied for the Shreveport Boat Show.  The Pontoons are not fully painted in this picture.

This is what was referred to as a party barge.  It made a great portable skiing and swimming platform.  There is a first rater being constructed in the background.

This popular model party barge featured a sun deck.  It is a 20 footer.  A regular houseboat is to the left.

The pictures above are of boats built in the early 1960's at the Shreveport facility.  The boat below was constructed in 1967 at the Florien plant, however the picture is current.  This is the largest Jordan houseboat ever produced at 60' by 16'.  It featured a steering cabin on the upper deck, a walkway on both sides of the cabin and a round bow to give it the appearance of a riverboat.  Originally two ornamental smoke stacks were also included.

Built in 1967 it is now nearly 40 years old.  As evident by this great craft, Jordan houseboats are capable of providing a lifetime of enjoyment.

The boat below is a 46 foot by 16 foot first rater.  It was equipped to sleep six people comfortably.  It featured a bath and kitchen area.  It had a sun deck with a walk way on both sides of the cabin.  This style gave it a more pleasing appearance and made for a more pleasurable occupation of the craft.

The boat pictured below is moored at Plumb Orchard Camp on Lake Bistineau a few yards from where it was launched in the mid sixties.  It has provided 40 years and three generations of enjoyment and seems little if any worse for the wear.  Lake Bistineau is located just southeast of Shreveport, LA and was the main staging area for Jordan Houseboats while they were produced in Shreveport.  Many of the boats launched in this beautiful lake are still in service, further proof of the  soundness of an investment in these great crafts.
 

These are but a few of the dreams that have been created.

Let Jordan Houseboats create a dream for you.
