Introducing the 1999 Gibson 50' Houseboat - a spacious liveaboard opportunity ready for your personal touch! Crafted by Gibson Houseboats, this model boasts impressive interior space, user-friendly systems, and a practical layout that has made it a preferred choice for liveaboards and inland cruisers alike. With its fiberglass construction and shallow draft, it’s perfectly equipped for navigating rivers, canals, and sheltered coastal waters.
***Condition Note***: This houseboat is currently a work in progress, offering a unique canvas for renovation. The current owner has initiated several interior projects, but some areas remain unfinished, including sections of the galley ceiling. The décor is somewhat dated, presenting an excellent chance for a new owner to modernize and create a personalized space. Additionally, there are soft spots on the upper deck that need repair, and the starboard fuel tank is not operational. Prospective buyers should be prepared to evaluate these repair needs, whether they are DIY enthusiasts or ready to invest in professional services.
This houseboat serves as a solid foundation with ample space and customization potential. The next owner can either build upon the existing work or completely redesign the interior and exterior as they wish. Currently unnamed, this vessel offers the perfect opportunity for personalization from the very start.
