Gibson Classic
"Mister Millie" sets the standard for coastal performance houseboats in this size range. The layout features the salon, dinette, and lower helm station on the entry level, with the forward stateroom and head down 3 steps, and the galley, aft stateroom, and master bath, down 3 steps behind the salon. She has been lightly used and loved by her original owner, as evidenced by the original plastic covers on the two mattresses in the Guest Stateroom with ensuite private head with vanity and shower. The large master stateroom with double bed is aft with a privacy door and the large master head with separate shower has dual access from the galley and the aft stateroom. She has a full-size refrigerator, 3-burner electric stove with oven, large porcelain double sink, and plenty of storage.
With only 192 hours on the upgraded twin MPI Vortec 8.1 420HP engines, she cruises at over 22 knots and capable of speeds approaching 30 knots. The Westerbeke 10kW GenSet has low hours and plenty of power to run both A/C units and all shipboard systems when away from your slip. The flybridge and lower helm station are well-equipped with electronic navigation systems, including a large color screen Garmin 2010 GPS Chartplotter. And with new Stern Thrusters installed in April 2006, she's easy to handle and dock.
The large main salon is designed for entertaining and the wrap-around dinette and convertible sofa provide ample seating for a crowd. Additional cushioned seating is available on the foredeck and on the flybridge, under a Sunbrella Bimini. Side decks are wide and sturdy waste-high aluminum stanchions and rails all around the boat provide an extra measure of safety.
If you are considering a 38' to 45' motor yacht and don't have any ocean-crossing plans, then don't pass up this opportunity to purchase a very unique, low maintenance, nearly new, and ready-to-go coastal cruising boat with all the capability to serve as your floating condo on the waterfront of your choice.
Seller will consider trading for a quality late model 28'-33' Center Console or Bowrider-style boat with a head in a cuddy cabin or under console, and low-hour outboards.
