Known Shortcomings: 

- Exterior: Worn/Damaged Front Canvas/Screen and Worn Canvas top deck roof

- Right (Starboard) inboard engine has Gimbal Bearing engine to out-drive making slight noise making that in-board/out-board unusable until the Gimbal Bearing is replaced.  Repair will require lifting the houseboat from the water to gain access to the Starboard out-drive. Starboard engine and out-drive is completely operable, but, the Gimbal Bearing is making a grinding noise. Cost Estimate to replace the Gimbal Bearing & rubber boot is approximately $1,500 with the boat lifted from the water.   I will refund $1,500 from the sale price to cover this repair.  All drive train components were completely on-lake operable eighteen months ago and were exercised, December 15, 2021.

- Front facing spotlight and horn inoperable

- Rear Deck Lights inoperative

- Small refrigerator and Ice Maker at upper bar inoperative

- Stacked washer only functions at hot setting.

- Carpeting in Master Salon is dog scratched.
