1968 50' Sea Going Houseboat

 Detailed Description:This 50' Sea Going Houseboat named "Frannie Joe" maybe 40 years old but it compares favorably to boats 15 to 20 years newer. The reason is "Frannie Joe" has had only three owners and the most recent past owner had spent the last 30 years treating her like a baby. The present owner has had her only a couple of months but for reasons not anticipated at time of purchase he has put her back in the market. Beyond the condition, another great feature is "Frannie Joe" has been set up to run on either gas or propane fuel. Last season when gas prices soared to $5.00 per gallon "Frannie Joe" was cruising with propane at $1.30 per gallon.  All the decking, hatches, windows and engine compartment are solid with no leaks. In addition, the bottom was re-skinned and cold tarred three years ago. The twin 318 Chryslers engines are mechanically sound as are the Danna Out Drives. "Frannie Joe" would make an ideal water front condo with one exception and that is if you did not like your neighbor you could untie and move the condo. If you are looking for a comfortable Houseboat to spend quality time on the water "Frannie Joe" is a must see. Accommodations:Entrance to the cabin is from screen doors located off the forward and aft decks. Entering forward puts you in the upper salon / helm which features a large sleeper sofa. Down two steps you enter the second salon which also features a large sleeper sofa along with twin lounge chairs. Aft of the second salon is a large full service galley to starboard and a dinette table to port. Continuing aft you enter the head and separate shower and beyond the head is an aft stateroom. Galley:GE RefrigeratorMagic Chef (3) Burner Gas Stove with OvenLarge SS SinkDinning Table with Seating for Four Electronics:Eagle Depth SounderUniden VHF Radio6" CompassPyle FM / AM Stereo with CDMemorex Flat Screen TV Electrical:AC / DC SystemCarrier Roof Air / Heat SystemBattery ChargerSearch LightShore Power Deck:Danforth AnchorFront and Aft Deck CarpetingHeavy Duty Steel DavitsAluminum (3) Seat Dingy Other:Propane Fuel ConversionPropane Fuel Conversion Tanks
