Steady as she goes. Family and friends will be very comfortable on this classic wooden Trumpy houseboat because it has a Seakeeper Gyro roll stabilization unit, meaning no roll.
She sleeps six in three staterooms aft, each with its own head and shower compartment. Accommodations for three crew in fwd cabin, with a shared head and shower compartment are up forward in the bow. The spacious salon has two leather chairs, a sofa, and reading lamps; the luxurious aft deck overlooks the water and has seating for 7-8 guests.
Cruising at 11 knots she burns 25 gallons per hour and she has a 45 hour/500 nautical mile range (1300 fuel tank) keeping a 200 gall reserve. If you dropped to 9.5 knots, fuel consumption is much lower and range is longer.
