TWIN CUMMINS 315 DIAMOND SERIES DIESEL ENGINES (1,819 & 2,289 WELL-MAINTAINED ENGINE HOURS)
LOCATED IN BEAUTIFUL, ORANGE BEACH, AL!
This is a GREAT looking vessel that is capable of being a comfortable stationary live aboard houseboat or making memories traveling all kinds of waterways....in style and comfort. She impresses as you walk through the vessel. Something neat and well-cared for around every corner. It's no wonder her owner's STILL call her home full time. This is a VERY seaworthy vessel that is not just a typical "lakes & rivers" houseboat. She can cross through some nasty seas and do it safely and comfortably.
The current owners have owned her for right at a decade and they currently live on the boat. Very prideful people who really LOVE this houseboat. Her captain boasts about the ease of maintenance and they have kept this vessel up really well.
Few added notes from a recent visit to the boat:
Captain says she holds 790 gals of fuel, and almost that in fresh water, and also in black water. He said she'll run a solid 5 days at a hefty cruise on a tank of fuel. A 45kw inverter with large battery bank has been recently added and it allows for a 36-40 hour run time. The Daikin Central Air also one of their favorite systems on the boat and it continues to impress. It's also worth mentioning the EASY access to engines and generator. Open the rear closet door, push a button, and the engine/genny hatches raise right up, providing ultimate access for maintenance. Can't ask for better access.
Powered by Twin Cummins 315 Diamond series diesel engines with right 1,819 and 2,289 hours. These are VERY fuel efficient engines....selected specifically for this Stardust Cruiser hull. She cruises very well at 2,600 RPM's at 24 GPH. She's 50% more efficient at 1800 RPM, boasting an efficient 12 GPH. Fully loaded at around 82,500 pounds, a 10 knot cruise at 1800 RPM is legit!
More worthy features include a Westerbeke 32kw Diesel generator (5,497 smooth as silk hours), Paneltronics distribution, twin electronic shift controls, Hurth 800 Vee Drives, 28" Diameter propellers, and Arcturus Hydraulic Bow AND Stern thrusters. Various electronics include Raymarine GPS/FF at the helm, Raymarine Autopilot, and a VHF radio. She handles and navigates well. Electrical setup is made up of (2) 240/12V AC and 12V DC systems.
Some features to make living aboard comfortable include a spacious Salon/Entertainment and Dining area, Double door refrigerator/freezer, Gas stove, Ice maker, Washing machine and a separate Dryer. Also features three 5000 BTU Daiken Air handlers, split system with room for (4) to make living aboard super comfy.
The main deck includes a command bridge with full width seating. Bridge has a spacious entertainment and dining area. The upper command station has a bimini top.
Let's talk sleeping quarters! Staterooms include an aft located Master stateroom with King bed, spacious storage, and full bath. One aft guest room with Queen bed, closet and extra storage. You'll find two private cabins with Queen beds and full bathroom forward. The layout flows well and will certainly grow on it's new owners.
Deck equipment includes anchor with galvanized chain, custom bow roller for launching, and a windlass with a 1500 lb capacity davit on upper deck.
