1978 14' x 57' CarlCraft Houseboat by Gibson. This is a rare coastal cruiser style boat and powered by twin 7.2L diesel engines with only 450 hours on rebuild. USCG Documented  ( pleasure ). Completely set up for live-a-board or long trips. Features dual helm with flybridge (being rebuilt) via custom easy access stairway, full instrumentation top and bottom including depth finder, LCD radar on mast, marine VHF radio, 30A or 50A Shore Power, 2000 watt inverter with room for 8 batteries, optional ( wired for ) generator, 86 gallon fresh water, 220 gallon fuel, hydraulic steering. Electric anchor winch.  Living quarters includes TV with VCR, old satellite system,  microwave oven, full size refrigerator/freezer, 2 heads connected to approved holding tank or overboard diverter ( where permitted ), (bath/shower combos in main, shower in forward). Washer/Dryer combo, gray water overboard. Dual RV type air conditioning/heat, Queen size bed aft and 1 (or 2) queens forward and below main salon. Huge storage below deck. This boat can carry more than 20 passengers but makes a wonderful home for 2, 3, or 4.   Many manuals are onboard and cover systems and equipment.  Owner willing to deal.  The price has been lowered to allow a new owner to handle the work needed on the boat.  Some cosmetic work is needed but structure, engines and hull are just fine.  Contact owner and chat.

It's out of the water on 10/11/03 ...

As an incentive to buy, it is offered as a 'live aboard' to give a person the opportunity to 'try it before you buy it'.  This plan will let you see if living on a boat could be 'your lifestyle'.  Also, I would work a deal to let part of the rent apply to purchase.  Presently located on about an acre of forested land about 12 miles from downtown Nashville. We had to take it out of the water to allow the "live aboard".  Nearly all water nearby is controlled by Corp. of Engineers, USArmy.  We now use it as a "guest cottage" while we wait for it to sell.  Equipped with "shore power, water, and septic system", cable TV, wireless WIFI high speed Internet, parking, more than 500' from neighbors (and 200 feet from us) so you can work on your projects 24/7.  You can even rent the site after you buy to make an orderly move to 'afloat'.... like retirement or change of lifestyle.

Topside looking aft with 'signal mast' and 'working mast' stepped ( laid down for low sheds ).  Working mast now 'off boat'.  Signal mast supports the radar antenna and can have comm antennas;  working mast on aft deck supports boom for handling heavy loads to the boat.  These are 'add on' custom features... such as the reinforced aft deck allowing at least 20 people to be topside.  ( 4-6 people will usually stess-out the roof structure of most boats ).   No, we didn't clean it up for the picture

This vessel is a very comfortable live-aboard and serious travel type vessel with all the convenience of a condo. The safety of not having gasoline on board can not be overemphasized.
