1985 Holiday Mansion Coastal Barracuda Aft Cabin For Sale

Looking for your new home? Look no further - this 1985 Holiday Mansion Coastal Barracuda Aft Cabin is sea-worthy and spacious!

The starboard engine was rebuilt in 2019, and extensive mechanical work was done at that time - including reconfiguration of the engine room to make future maintenance more easily accessible, new mufflers, new batteries, new wiring, new plumbing, new throttle and shifter cables, and new thru-hulls. The seller upgraded the anchor and added bow and stern lights so the vessel is ready for a multi-day cruise up the St. John's River!

With two staterooms and two full heads, each with a toilet, sink, and tub/shower, it is perfect for full-time or seasonal liveaboards and those who are interested in cruising up and down the 310 miles of the beautiful St. Johns River. The new (2018) 19-gallon hot water heater provides plenty of hot water for long showers, and the showers have excellent water pressure. There's also a washer and dryer on board for convenience, and a fully operational generator to power the boat when away from the dock. The LED lighting throughout makes it energy-efficient, and hidden LED light strips modernize this classic beauty.

This Holiday Mansion features a large aft deck with dining table and chairs as well as 2 lounge chairs with retractable footrests: perfect for entertaining or relaxing after a long day. Biminis are in great condition with no rips or tears, and bimini socks are included as well as window covers for all windows on the boat.

The U.S. Coast Guard approved Type 1 Electro Scan on-board sanitation system sanitizes and completely processes the waste, so there's no holding tank and no need to have the waste pumped out! The electrode pack was replaced in 2019 so should provide several years of maintenance-free sanitation.

The full kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, 3-burner electric stove, and oven. There's also a glass top indoor booth dinette with nautical rope detailing and lots of hidden storage under the seats.

Another great feature of this Holiday Mansion is all of the windows and natural light, making the space feel larger and airier. The view from the 2 large windows in the aft cabin is second-to-none: watch the stars as you drift off to sleep and admire the manatees and turtles right from your bed in the morning. The white walls in the salon and dining areas also give the boat a fresh airy feel.

To further maximize the floor space, the seller added a ceiling-mounted projector, so you don't need a TV when the urge to Netflix binge hits!

Dinghy included: 2019 Saturn inflatable, 6hp gas motor, includes boat cover, motor cover, ores, anchor, and rechargeable air pump.
