Holiday Mansion 38 ft Houseboat Walkthrough | Downtown St. Petersburg Liveaboard Gem
Quick unplanned stop in downtown St. Petersburg for this 38 ft Holiday Mansion houseboat — a cool, affordable liveaboard option right in the city! Asking around $35k, with a transferable slip at ~$900/month (liveaboard approved after inspection). Gas engines (Vortec by GM inboards — owner says they run), undercover storage (no rain/sun damage), reverse bow seating, sliders, upper bridge with astro turf/wicker chairs, and that classic houseboat layout inside (Finding Nemo vibes with painted details).
We check the bow seating, side decks, swim platform, engines (dirty but running), salon helm (analog gauges, Raymarine basics), galley (Formica, Empress stove, microwave), head with tub, double bunk room (cedar-lined closet), and more. Undercover keeps it dry and protected — huge bonus in Florida sun/salt. Great for city living, quick ebike rides to games, or just chilling on the water without a huge budget.
