This 1984 Hilburn is a 44-foot aluminum houseboat that was purchased in 2023 and rebuilt from the hull up. The boat features a single MerCruiser 120 hp inboard-outboard engine with a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed of 9 knots. It sleeps three cabins and includes one head.
The interior was reconstructed with 2x4 framed, insulated walls finished in shiplap and three-quarter-inch plywood, paired with cork-backed white ash flooring. The boat holds three cabins for sleeping quarters and a single bathroom with an electric Raritan toilet and 12-by-12-inch tiled shower. The galley and living spaces are equipped with all new appliances and LED lighting throughout. A screened bow lounge measuring 12 by 14 feet provides outdoor living space with ceiling fan.
The rebuild included comprehensive mechanical and systems work: a new stern drive with electronic ignition and carburetor, two new 50-gallon fuel tanks, a new freshwater system with two 80-gallon tanks, a 40-gallon black water tank, and all new wiring and plumbing. The exterior received an EPDM roof, mold-resistant vinyl siding, and a sealed and epoxy-coated bottom with fresh bottom paint. Climate control includes new air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. The boat provides over 24 inches of below-deck storage running the full length and width of the hull, plus two continuous battery chargers.
