While it's not impossible for it to stay in the harbor, you will still have to get your own slip and move this boat to that slip whether it's in this harbor or another one.
1973 Brighton Boat Builders Hallmark Delta Clipper 40' Houseboat.
Maintenance has definitely been kept up on this one, previous owners including me have put a lot of love into this one.
The inside has been gutted of the original 1973 equipment and rebuilt with all new materials, appliances, and furnishings.
Inside: Floor plan is redone in a very space efficient manner.
There is a living room, full kitchen (cabinets, sink, stove, oven, microwave), full bathroom with Raritan head, and shower, office, two different large storage areas, and a V-berth at the bow.
Theres also an upper deck for sun-bathing
Hull: 8 solid inches of fiberglass.
Huge plus: the inboard engine has been removed and the inboard engine through-hole has been glassed over.
No hauling it out and replacing the inboard engine seal! And no risk of boat sinking from the engine.
Seacocks have been capped off from outside.
Better this way as the risk of them breaking and sinking the boat is not an issue.
Seacocks aren't used anyway, onboard sewage tank is used instead.
Propulsion: A custom outboard hoist has been installed on the stern.
There are two NS-25 Nissan outboard engines mounted on the hoist for a total of 50HP.
They start and run great, these are extremely well built according to ouboard mechanics that have serviced them.
Underpowered? Sure.

shes not meant to go fast, but she will pass any harbor's requirement for the boat to be self-propelled as a lot of harbors require boat to have working engines.
Exterior: Most everywhere has received a fresh coat of marine paint.
In the last year the rails and old railing rusty bolts have been removed, bolt holes for railings treated with hardening epoxy and sealant, and rails reinstalled to the deck with new stainless steel bolts.
At this time new cleats were also installed to the deck and bolts and bolt holes also retreated as the railing bolts were.
A leaky window in the v-berth was deleted and sealed over with fiberglass.
Window was not useful where it was located and would leak on rainy days so I had it removed.
All external lights were replaced with new stainless steel lights that work great.
Navigation lights also work great.
Systems: 30 gallon septic tank for the new raritan superflush head (I just rebuilt all gaskets on the head a month ago) everything works great there are no leaks at all.
120v 6 gallon hot water heater.
Three bilge pumps with water level sensors pump out water at three main collection areas of the bilge.
There is a bilge vent installed where the old blower motor was so that there is adequate airflow in the bilge.
Shower works off of pressurized shore water hookup, no 12v pump.
120v breakers for all electrical outlets and appliances.
12v +/- panels with all fuses working.
Brand new marine grade water resistant 30A electrical cable to connect shore power.
Brand new stainless steel hose cable to connect to shore water.
Standard marine band radio with antenna on roof.
Custom internet system I built myself, will come with boat.
This is a special houseboat.
She's very cozy inside and she's sure to charm you.
I will add more pics as soon as I can.
