2015 Bravada Evolution Trip # 7 (July 7 - July 13)

This 2015 Bravada is a 75-foot aluminum houseboat built for Lake Powell entertaining and cruising. A comprehensive 2020 refurbishment updated the interior finishes, furnishings, and equipment throughout. The boat features twin 4.5-liter MerCruiser V8 engines with 250 horsepower each, twin 15-kilowatt Kohler generators, and substantial fuel capacity across a 700-gallon main tank and 470-gallon auxiliary tank. A 12-battery electrical system with 2,800-watt inverter supports the onboard power needs.

The accommodations sleep up to 18 adults total across a private master suite with king bed and full bath, two upper-level queen suites, two queen cuddy cabins, and a kid's cuddy. The master includes under-bed storage and a 24–29-inch television. Interior spaces feature custom cabinetry, granite countertops in the galley and bathrooms, custom panel wall coverings, and full carpeting. A 750-gallon holding tank and UVB fresh water processing system support extended stays.

The galley includes full-size stainless steel range and oven, 66-inch refrigerator/freezer combination, commercial ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, and trash compactor, with serviceware for 12. The salon centers on a custom sectional sofa with ottoman. Climate control comes from a 4-ton central air and heating system. Three heads are equipped with custom ceramic tile and granite throughout.

The upper deck features an open fly-bridge with dual-seat helm and custom lounger under a hardtop canopy. Dual mirrored bars include sink, icemaker, dishwasher, microwave, stove, and seven barstools, plus a full-size side-by-side refrigerator and upper deck bathroom pod. The rear deck includes a slippery slide, two personal watercraft ramps with winches, a swim platform and ladder, and a top-deck barbecue grill. Entertainment systems include a 50-inch HD television, 5.1 surround sound setup, satellite television, and stereo with deck speakers. Navigation equipment features a depth finder, GPS at the helm, backup camera on the lower helm, and two ship-to-shore marine radios.
