The 2012 Bravada Summer Solstice is a 75-foot aluminum houseboat built for large groups and extended cruising. Powered by twin 5.0 MPI fuel-injected MerCruiser V8 engines with 260 horsepower each, the boat carries 700 gallons of fuel across main and auxiliary tanks. A 20 KW Westerbeke generator provides shore power, complemented by a fully integrated solar array of 25 panels rated at 400W each and 16 batteries at 200 amp/hour capacity, reducing dependence on generator operation.
The interior accommodates up to 18 adults across a master suite with king bed and private bathroom, two private upper-level suites with queen beds, two cuddy cabins with queen beds and television units, and additional sleeping spaces throughout. The boat features two heads with custom granite countertops and holds 450 gallons of waste capacity. A full galley includes commercial-grade appliances: stainless steel range and oven, 60-inch refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher, commercial ice maker, washer-dryer combo, and coffee and beverage stations.
The upper deck offers a hardtop canopy with inset lighting, open flybridge with dual-seat helm, and dual mirrored bars with sink, icemaker, and refrigerator seating eight. Upper and lower helm stations provide full navigation and helm instrumentation, combination depth finder and GPS, and ship-to-shore marine radio. Climate control uses 4.0-ton central air conditioning and heating throughout.
Outdoor features include a rear slippery slide with water pump, two PWC ramps with winches, extended swim platform with ladder and boarding ramps, front deck BBQ grill, and full outdoor furniture and patio seating. Interior furnishings include custom Summerlite maple cabinetry, granite countertops, full carpeting, custom sectional sofa, and a 42-inch HD television in the main salon with surround sound and Blu-ray player.
