1978 42' Gibson Boats Houseboat

 
Detailed Description:
THE OWNER OF THIS BOAT HAS TO GET OUT AND HAS ASKED THAT THE PRICE BE REDUCED TO $12,000. AT THIS PRICE IT IS AN AS IS DEAL OR TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. THERE WILL BE NO SEA TRIAL BUT BOTH ENGINES WILL BE RUN AND THE BOAT PUT IN GEAR. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE OWNER SPENT OVER $3,000 ON THE ENGINES AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RUN SENSE. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO THIS BOAT FIX HER UP A LITTLE AND BE ABLE TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK OUT IF YOU DECEIDE TO SELL.This 42 Gibson Houseboat will make someone a great weekend retreat. It has a roomy cabin, decent front and aft decks along with a large upper deck which is ideal for lounging. This houseboat is in decent shape with the front deck and walkways solid. The only issue with this boat is the aft deck around the engine hatch. This seems to be an issue with most Gibson's of this age. This boat is powered by twin 318 Chryslers with V Drives. If you are looking for a great summer get a way without sticker shock this is a must see.
