This model features an interior that is well-suited to being a liveaboard or floating vacation home, with 3 separate sleeping areas, including a master Queen berth below the forward helm and salon area, a well-equipped Galley with an updated front-opening refrigerator/freezer, 3-Burner Propane Stove with Oven, double SS Sinks, a Microwave, Coffee-Maker, and plenty of Formica-covered counter-space, drawers and cabinet storage above and below the countertop.
This 36 ft. Gibson Houseboat also boasts a spacious bathroom with a separate shower stall, vanity, sink, storage cabinets, and electric toilet, as well as a convertible dinette aft that seats 6, a convertible sofa aft to starboard and another sofa forward opposite the lower Pilothouse helm with a small coffee table. Sliding Glass windows and a portable floor-model A/C system provide plenty of ventilation and all windows, have attractive curtains that provide privacy at night. Two 12V Batteries and a 10A Xantrex Battery charger are located aft in the dinette area and the vessel has two 30A Shore-Power Inlets with Shore-Power Cables.
The forward deck has a large SS BBQ propane Grill and there is a large storage locker below the deck with a Bruce-Style Anchor and a Danforth Anchor, each with chain and nylon anchor rodes, plus additional lines. Sliding glass doors from the Starboard side deck with aluminum rails outboard all around the decks, provide access to the Pilothouse helm, and access to the dinette area from the Aft Deck, where a large Deck Hatch provides excellent access to the engine room below. A ladder from the aft deck provides access to the mid-level spacious deck with an aluminum rail on three sides, and the Upper Helm all the way forward with two upholstered back-to-back upholstered vinyl seats and additional seating on the raised A/C system with vinyl-covered cushions that are stored below. The Flybridge Aft Deck has plenty of room for chaise lounge chairs and many folding chairs. The Flybridge Helm area is covered with a Burgundy Sunbrella Bimini with aluminum folding frame and Bimini Sunbrella storage Boot that are stored below along with a Todd Swivel Vinyl Upholstered Helm Seat and these items appear to be in very good condition. Both helms have full engine instrumentation.
Although owned and enjoyed by the Seller since 1997, this Gibson 36 Standard Houseboat 1991, has not been used much in the last 8 years (approximate) when the engines, generator, and plumbing systems were winterized; but not re-commissioned since that time. Photos of the engine room equipment and systems, showing very little and normal exterior corrosion, are current and the Seller reports that these systems were in good operational condition prior to being winterized.

Broker Comments
However, prospective Buyers should be prepared to have the engines inspected by a competent surveyor and/or mechanic to determine what preventive inspection and maintenance should be done prior to recommissioning them; which the Seller is unwilling to do and will be up to the Buyer to complete, or not, AFTER closing. Because of the age of the fuel in the tanks, Seller has been advised not to attempt to start the engines until the tanks are drained, cleaned, and fresh gasoline added.
Broker has observed that the hydraulic steering system at both helms will require maintenance and/or repair. A few minor leaks have damaged a small area of interior non-structural cabinetry trim forward of the lower helm, but otherwise, the condition of the interior varnished and Formica-covered cabinetry is in good condition, and soft-goods & lighting are useable and functional. There is a rooftop air-cooled 120VAC A/C system that is inoperable, but easily replaced if desired, although the like-new Haier floor model adequately cools the interior.
