Eagles Gift - HOLIDAY MANSION FOR SALE

This 38' Holiday Mansion Coastal Barracuda—houseboat-style motor yacht and coastal cruiser—arrives essentially turnkey for her next owners. Fresh from extensive refits, she boasts a fully renewed electrical system and a recent repower with twin Volvo 5.0 GLs tied to Duo-Prop sterndrives. A superb liveaboard-capable powerboat, she runs confidently and efficiently in calm seas or when the chop builds.

Overview and upgrades

“Eagle’s Gift” presents in excellent condition, mechanically sound and confidently turnkey for her next owners, with recent service logs on hand to verify her meticulous care. A comprehensive haul-out with bottom painting and full outdrive attention, together with engine and outdrive service, was completed at Huckins Yacht in June 2023, underscoring a program of proactive maintenance rather than deferred work.

Her recent replacements and additions are extensive and thoughtfully selected. The port motor and DuoProp outdrive were replaced in June 2019, the starboard motor and DuoProp outdrive were replaced in July 2004, and the starboard DuoProp outdrive was replaced again in February 2018, delivering reassuring redundancy and smooth, efficient thrust. Power reliability is bolstered by a Westerbeke 7.5 kW generator replaced in May 2019, batteries replaced in 2018, a power inverter for seamless AC delivery, and a Xantrex three-bank battery charger. Comfort and quiet climate control come courtesy of dual AC units, while shipboard amenities include a fridge replacement, a Raritan fresh water toilet, a hot water heater, synthetic wood floors that are both resilient and elegant, a TV, and a Kenwood stereo system with two amps that fills the cabin with rich sound; new tint on all windows tempers glare and heat for cooler, more private cruising.

At the helm, confident navigation and control are ensured by a JRC radar, a Raymarine e7 multifunction display with GPS and bottom finder, a Simrad Auto Pilot with remote, a Teleflex Sea Star hydraulic steering system, and precise engine feedback via a Twin Scan 3 tachometer and GPH fuel-burn gauges. Safety and longevity are equally well considered, with an Electro Guard anti-corrosion system, a CO2 detector, a high water alarm, two 12-volt bilge pumps and one 110 bilge pump, and new throttle cables for crisp response. Practical deck and cruising enhancements include an air system and air horn, an anchor with lines, a cockpit cover and deck awning for shade, a video monitoring system for added awareness, and multiple spare parts, including a spare set of props, to keep you cruising without interruption. Altogether, “Eagle’s Gift” stands out as a thoroughly updated, carefully maintained yacht that is ready to delight from the first sea trial.
