Gibson House Boat

This is a 1984 Gibson Houseboat project with no Reserve.

It is42 ft. plus a swim platform.Gibsons are great boats made in the USA. This houseboat could be used in many ways such as a tiny house, yacht for live a board, fishing, cruising lakes, rivers, intercostals or for vacation and entertainment. This vessel is located at 18490 Harbeson Rd., Milton, Delawareas pictured. This large boat appears as a blend of houseboat and cabin cruiser. It has two bedrooms, one bathroom with shower. It is in poor condition and needs to be redone and customized for the new owner. The kitchen/galley is open to the living room/cabin with a large deck on top with built in seating/storage. Dual controls allow you to pilot the boat from the fly bridge or the comfort of the cabin. It has been sitting on the hard for seven years as a planned rebuild project. The name on this custom designed boat is Got Bo by the Baltimore beer company that once owned it. Baltimore is where it was docked when I purchased it. I am the fifth owner of this boat. The boat was at one time US coast Guard Certified. It has past documentation and a clear Maryland title. I have lost my storage lease and new plans necessitate a quick sale and removal. Please expect this boat will need major repair, rebuild, replacement of all systems including the generator and two inboard V8 marine raw water cooled gasoline engines. You could re-deck the hull and mount a new travel trailer. The houseboat purchase includes the commitment that the buyer will move the boat from its current Delaware location within 35 days after purchase. The boatyard owner plans to repurpose the property. Please consider the transport and project cost before bidding on this houseboat. This auction is where is, as is with no warranty. Buyer must pay for boat immediately after auction ends. GibsonFiberglass Houseboats are one of only a few United States boat manufactures still in business today. See https://www.gibsonboats.com If you would rather not remodel the boat yourself, Gibson can refurbish it for you. It has no trailer. Its 12-foot width allows for over the road transport with permits.
