This houseboat needs someone to restore it to its original Beauty. The boat is clean but outdated and needs some TLC. Twin V6 Power one with cracked block. When you own a Suwanee 47, rest assured that you own a cabin cruiser with a rich legacy. First designed and built in 1965 by Bill Kenner of the famed Kenner Boat Company in Knoxville, Arkansas, the Suwanee 47 has had a long and successful history of giving her owners the satisfaction of possessing a great cruising boat. Remarkably versatile and efficient, the Suwanee 47 has always been considered unique and special by its owners, local owners of other craft, and those who have admired this boat from afar. Designed to be sleek and elegant at a time when houseboats were boxy, the Suwanee 47 was considered the "queen of the houseboat fleet" and Kenner often employed "The houseboat in yacht's clothing" as a slogan in early advertising for the Suwanee 47. The Kenners asked themselves the question, "Why does a houseboat have to look like a barge?" and set out to build a superior quality, aesthetically pleasing cruising boat. They succeeded wonderfully. Best of all, she has a remarkably shallow draft, making her an exceptional river cruiser.  Located at Keystone lake in Oklahoma the boat could be floated or driven almost anywhere up or down the Arkansas River.  Locals bid $5500 to replace both engines. Slip rental is $250 per month plus elec.  Sleeps 2 in front 2 in cabin and 2 in aft bedroom.  2 baths. 2 AC that work great.  You can live on the boat today with no problem.  Please go see it before purchasing.  The deposit is not refundable.The boat is located at Keyport Marina which is the first right turn after crossing the bridge out of Mannford going east on highway 51.  The dock is the one which is the farthest east and the boat is the Luna Blue one back from the end on the right or west.  Call for instructions ...  Four zero five eight five zero one 555.I SET THE PRICE AT $7900 AND THE RESERVE AT $8000 TO CREATE A NO RESERVE AT $8000.  EBAY DOES NOT HAVE A NO RESERVE OPTION.
