In this part of the instructions for CAW users, there is a 17x22 barge. http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/690014.page#11001928
Also in the game there is a houseboat that is 17x22, the more expensive one, forgot the name of it, but it has 3 beds and looks modern. I was able to get the residential one of that size to port, but still can't port the resort one. *totally confused*
EDIT: I think I might know what to do. Thanks everyone.
FYI, that houseboat in reality is 15x20, not 17x22. There's a "secret" extra tile around every houseboat lot, which is what allows you to build walls to the edge of a houseboat, and place wall objects along the edge of a houseboat. Without that extra hidden tile that wouldn't be possible.
Unfortunately, clicking on a houseboat lot in Edit Town will report the houseboat's true lot size. There was some really deep rooted code that calculates that which wouldn't have been prudent to change for this specific case.
