1978 42' Gibson Boats Houseboat

Detail Description:
This [removed phone] Gibson Houseboat named Fire Escape is one that has to be seen to appreciate. The present owners have made major improvements to this Houseboat. Some of the improvements include reframing the front and aft decks, new front and aft deck hatches, new side and head windows, rebuilt gen set, new water heater and new holding tanks for water and waste. In addition, the inside cabin of Fire Escape has been completely updated as the pictures within this ad demonstrate. Fire Escape is the nicest older 42 Gibson I have seen in the market. This boat is powered by twin crusader 5.7L engines generating 540 HP. She also has a completely rebuilt Onan 7.5 KW gen set so when away from the dock you can cruise in comfort. If you are looking for an extremely well maintained Houseboat priced under $20,000 Fire Escape is a must see so call for a showing today.
