"As Good As It Gets" Dual Deck, 2/3Bed, Houseboat.


If you're in the market for a mid-size, dual-decked houseboat, best you make a time to view, As Good As It Gets. Beautifully presented, this vessel is ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a relaxing weekender escape or a comfortable live-aboard vessel. Priced for a genuine sale, it offers an outstanding opportunity to embrace the river lifestyle you've always dreamed of.

Stepping on board, you are welcomed by quality timber deck planking to both the fore and aft decks, wide walkways, sturdy safety handrails, and a flexible layout that immediately feels warm and inviting. The vessel has clearly been cared for, with attention to detail evident both inside and out.

Entering the deckhouse, you'll find a spacious combined helm, lounge, dining, and portside kitchen area, enhanced by attractive vinyl plank flooring. The helm is well equipped with hydraulic steering, Honda and VDO instrumentation, CD stereo, Phillips 40 channel UHF radio, and a Media-Tek reverse camera, providing both practicality and ease of navigation. The 'U' shaped kitchen features a TCL fridge/freezer, microwave, Prinetti electric hot plate and oven, along with ample drawer space, under-bench storage, and overhead cupboards. Forward is the dining area, complemented by a starboard lounge corner, all kept comfortable year-round with Braemar evaporative air conditioning and Rinnai Cozy Glow floor standing gas heater.

Accommodation comprises two generous walk-around double bedrooms, each offering glass sliding door access to the sponson decks, wool carpeted floors, overhead cupboards, and ample robe space.

The bathroom is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, featuring a corner clear-door shower enclosure, water-efficient marine flushing toilet, Aussie Traveller washing machine, and vanity with shave cupboard.

To the rear, a sunroom-style entertaining area provides additional living space with a TV connection point and overhead cupboards. Large glass sliding doors frame beautiful river views, and the space easily accommodates a sofa bed for additional guests if required.

A fully hard-covered stern deck provides access via ladder to the upper sundeck. Fully gated for safety, the sundeck offers elevated river views and is the perfect place to relax or entertain. There is also the option to add a Bimini for additional shade.

This vessel is set up for off-grid living, featuring a Kings 2,000W inverter, Make Sky Blue solar controller, three solar panels, and three 125amp/hr Neutron AGM deep cycle house batteries fitted in 2021, along with a back-up Dunlite generator. Additional features include Rinnai instant gas hot water, 200L of freshwater storage, 420L black and grey water capacity, a new hooded BBQ, Devanti portable fridge, ample storage boxes, and registered until May 2026.

Propulsion is provided by a 2015 Honda 90HP four-stroke outboard motor showing only 959 hours of use, last serviced in August 2025 by Ben from Slipstream Marine. A 400L mid-ship fuel tank allows for an impressive cruising range. The vessel was last slipped and inspected out of the water in August 2025 at the Mannum Slipway and holds current Gas, Electrical, and EPA wastewater compliances.

Offered as a walk-in, walk-out sale and located in the lower Murray River region, As Good As It Gets presents a opportunity to secure a mid-size and thoughtfully equipped houseboat. Mooring is available upon application and approval.
