Basic Decription: USE IT AS A RENTAL, AT THE DOCK, AND MAKE SOME CASH.. PAID STORAGE FOR OCTOBER FIRST TIME AVAILABLE IN, PERHAPS, 25 YEARS THESE TRAILERABLE HOUSEBOATS ARE QUITE RARE, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE PERMITS TO TOW IT. HOW MANY HOUSEBOATS HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT YOU CAN WATER SKI BEHIND IT WAS MADE IN CANADA, AND IS BUILT LIKE A BIG BOSTON WHALER, WITH FOAM FILLED, INSULATION AND FLOATATION DOUBLE SKINNED, HULL AND CABIN, 18'. THE BRAND IS "GLENDALE" THE MODEL IS "HOBO". IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY REDONE BY ME, FOR ME. ALL WAS DONE CORRECTLY. I AM EX-USCG, AND A RETIRED MASTER CAPTAIN. A FEW OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES ON HIS VESSEL ONE, IS THE NEW 80 WATT SOLAR PANEL AND DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES, ENOUGH POWER TO RUN THE FRIDGE IT DRAWS ONLY 80 WATTS A NEW MICROWAVE AND INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND AC BTU, 500 WATTS, DURING AN EXTENDED OUTING, OR LONG TERM ANCHORAGE. AND, ALSO NEW, SMALLER SOLAR PANEL WAS ADDED TO ASSURE THE STARTING BATTERY IS NEVER DEAD, FROM SITTING-IT IS NEW, AS WELL. ALSO INCLUDED, A NEW, STILL IN THE BOX REMOTE CONTROL SPOT LIGHT, NOT YET INSTALLED. A LARGE INTERIOR FAN, CAPABLE OF OPERATING FROM SOLARBATTERY. A NEW BILGE ALARM. BOTH SOLAR PANELS ARE EASILY REMOVED FOR STORAGE--FOR SECURITY THE 80 WATT PANEL IS LOCKABLE AS WELL AS A SOLAR POWERED ANCHOR LIGHT. . IT HAS A 60 HP 2 CYCLE MERC, AUTOMATIC OILING-NO MESSY MIXING OF FUEL AND OIL , WITH ONLY 5 HOURS ON IT, OR LESS, FRESH WATER USE ONLY, THAT CAN PUSH IT AT 25 MPH, GPS CONFIRMED, IT ALSO HAS A FISH FINDER, BUILT IN 17 GALLON FUEL TANK NEWUNUSED WITH A RACOR FILTER AND TWO SIX GALLON, PLASTIC, PORTABLE FUEL TANKS FOR THE LONG RANGE SAILOR, total 29 gallons WITH SPARE HOSES, AND SOLAR 24 HR VENTING, SO IT NEVER SMELLS "BOATISH" A VERY COMFORTABLE DOUBLE BED, HEAD, COOK AREAWSINK, ELEVATED CHART TABLE, A 6'8" SOFA BED, A NEW 5,000 BTU AC, I HAVE ALSO ADDED A NEW BOW "STRIKE" PROTECTOR, AND A BOW DRAIN, GALVANIZED TRAILER, CUSTOM DETACHABLE HEAVY DUTY, ALUMINUM, SWIM LADDER--STRONG ENOUGH FOR SCUBA DIVING PLUS, ALL NEW DOUBLE BRAID DOCK LINES, TWO ANCHORS AND RODES-AS WELL AS A TOW LINE--IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD SAMARITIAN-I HAVE TOWED A 32' BOAT BEFORE-, TWO LIFE JACKETS AND NEW THROWABLE. I LIVED SEVERAL WINTERS ON THIS BOAT IN THE KEYS, AND IT IS NOW READY TO GO AGAIN. NO SHOWER, DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF WATER, HOWEVER I HAVE FOUND A 2 GALLON SPRAYER IS PLENTY FOR A RINSE-OFF AFTER THE LAST SWIM THIS WOULD BE AN IDEAL BOAT TO CRUISE THE ICW, CRUISINGDIVING THE KEYS,OR A QUICK TRIP TO THE BAHAMAS, IF YOU PICK YOUR WEATHER. IT IS NOT AN OCEAN BOAT. ANYTHING MORE THAN ROLLING 2-3' SEAS IS NOT COMFORTABLE. IT WAS DESIGNED FOR PROTECTED WATERS, BAYS, SOUNDS, RIVERS, ETC. I HAVE TOWED IT WITH A V-6, S-10 BLAZER, A 6 CYCLINDER FORD EXPLORER, AND NOW WITH A 2WD TAHOE, AVAILABLE IF YOU BUY IT--VERY REASONABLE IT TOWS LIKE A DREAM. IT ALSO FLOATS IN ABOUT 1' OF WATER, SO IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY, U CAN GET THE CHEAP, SKINNY WATER, SLIPS THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN USE. I HAVE TOWED IT OVER 12,000 , TROUBLE FREE,MILES. AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE, ITS WEIGHT WAS APPROX. 34 TON.... AROUND 1500 LBS, BUT THE GROSS WEIGHT VARIES WITH ENGINE SIZE, RATED FOR UP TO 85 HP , MODIFICATIONS, GEAR, FOOD, BIKES, AND OTHER STUFF, AND OTHER ADDED LOADS. IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO TOW. THE GALVANIZED TRAILER IS TORSION BAR STYLE, NO RUSTY SPRINGS TO WORRY ABOUT, AND HAS FULL SIZE TIRES, RADIALS, WITH 1000 MILES ON THEM, AND COMES WITH A NEW FULL SIZE NEW SPARE. THE HUBS HAVE POSITIVE PRESSURE GREASE FITTINGS AS WELL. THE FENDERS ARE DESIGNED TO BE STEPPED ON. NO LADDER NEEDED.. THE ONLY EXTERIOR WOOD IS THE NEWLY VARNISHED, 4 COATS, ORIGINAL-TEAK HAND RAIL THAT ENABLES ONE TO SAFELY GO FROM BOW TO STERN. WHY PAY FOR A BOAT OR CONDO RENTAL, WHEN U CAN HAVE A BOAT FOR LESS THAT IS MORE, AND OFFERS MORE THAN EITHER WHEN YOUR SEASON, OR DAY, ENDS, IT PUT BACK ON THE TRAILER, WHERE IT CAN BE USED AS A GUEST ROOM, OR CONDO, FOR "OVERFLOW" VISITORS. YOU COULDN'T BUILD THE SAME SPACE, AS A SHED, FOR LESS FOR THAT MATTER, YOU COULD SELL THE TRAILER AND MOTOR AND HAVE A TINY,SELF SUFFICIENT, MAINTAINCE FREE, SOLAR POWERED GUESTROOMOFFICE,PLAYROOMCONDO, FOR LESS THAN YOU COULD BUILD A SHED AND MAYBE TURN A PROFIT. AT THIS PRICE, THE COMPONENTS ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE ENTIRETY. I INSURE IT WITH PROGRESSIVE FOR ABOUT 250YR... OH YEAH, IT ALSO HAS 6'8 HEADROOM AND TWIN KEELS SO IT WILL SIT LEVEL ON THE GROUND..NO NEED FOR JACK STANDS, AND WILL GO EASILY INTO RACK STORAGE TOO THE KEELS ARE WIDER IN THE FRONT THAN BACK, TO GIVE LIFT IN THE STERN WHEN ACCELERATING.... IT IS WELCOME IN CAMPGROUNDS, ALSO, BECAUSE IT IS SELF CONTAINED LIKE A TRAILER WITH AN OUTBOARD LOL I AM SELLING ONLY BECAUSE MY BRIDE DOESN'T LIKE BOATING.... AND I HAVE A KNEE THAT SOMETIMES IS VERY UNCOOPERATIVE I AM DISABLED, AND CAN'T MAKE USE OF IT ANY MORE IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SELL IT I HAVE OWNED THE BOAT ABOUT 15 YEARS, AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT 10 YEARS TO BUY THIS BOAT. PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEM DON'T WANT TO SELL THEM. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DIED BEFORE I COULD PURCHASE IT MANY PEOPLE HAVE DESCRIBED THIS BOAT AS 10 POUNDS IN A 5 POUND BAG WITH IT'S THE FEATURES, CONDITION, QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION, AND INCLUSIONS, NEW, TODAY, THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE CLOSE TO 100,000. NOTHING LIKE THIS IS MADE TODAY, AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE MADE AGAIN. IT IS UNIQUE, RARE AND RARELY AVAILABLE.
