Memories is a 2008 47' Gibson houseboat. It is powered by twin Yanmar 110 horse power diesels.
We traded our older Gibson for this boat to get several options that we wanted for long range cruising, the front shear, an inverter and most importantly the small diesels. The smaller engines will limit our top speed to about 15 MPH but when crusing at 8 -9 we should get 3.5 to 4 MPG.
With 240 gallon fuel capacity, 100 gallaon freshwater and 100 gallons holding we expect to cruise remote areas without concern for where the next marina is.
Because this is the first Gibson with the small Yanmar's the dealer, Wahoo-Marine, asked to display the boat at the St Louis boat show. That is where the picture was taken.
