We featured the Loveland family’s houseboat Hysteria in our Sept/Oct issue last year, and the Lovelands are not the only ones who think their boat is special. Decked out from top to bottom, this boat is truly spectacular and makes for the perfect getaway on Lake Powell. Jim Loveland and his family have owned several houseboats over the years, but this is their first houseboat they’ve had custom built. With that said, the boat fits the his family like a glove, and there’s never any question as to whether they’ll be able to comfortably fit all their family and friends on the boat since the vessel comes fully equipped with two master bedrooms, six standard bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two kid cuddies and a locker room.
The Lovelands have now had two full seasons with their Hysteria and they could not be more pleased with their decision to build a custom houseboat with Adonia. Jim mentioned that he’s had the opportunity to take his family on some awesome vacations ranging from Hawaii to Europe, but whenever he asks them what their favorite vacation is, they always say houseboating on Hysteria at Lake Powell. For the Loveland family, building a houseboat with Adonia has been a total slam dunk.
