The Pink Flamingo in Arizona

SOLD – SOLD – SOLD – SOLD

Sorry the Sea Lander has been sold already.  Another great boat the I’m going to miss.

Rare 1971 Sealander 25’ trailerable houseboat that is lake ready with tandem axle trailer. I’ve only found pictures from about 3 of these boats online.  The boat is located in Apache Junction, Arizona which is just 45 minutes east of Phoenix.

Boat is running and is lake ready.

NEW VIDEO OF PROGRESS AS OF 12/23/2019

The video and pictures are as the boat is sitting on 12/23/2019.  We purchased this boat after selling our 1971 Chris Craft 34′ Houseboat that I had for almost 20 years.  The idea was to remodel it like we did with the Chris Craft and have one of the nicest trailerable houseboats to enjoy and not have the monthly slip rental costs.

But with another speed boat, camper, Rzr and other toys we just never get around to working on this and using it so it’s up for sale to a good home for a fair price.

The boat is priced for less than I have in it not counting any time we have spent on it.  It’s running, ready for the lake, and a very cool and unique boat.

These boats are so unique and they were actually designed to be used as an RV also with the rear steps folding flat on land to easily board. It’s between a tri hull design and catamaran and it rides nice and I think we had it running about 23 mph on plane. This one has a straight 6 Mercruiser 165HP engine and Mercruiser outdrive with trim and tilt.  Motor starts and runs excellent.

Some of the new items I’ve purchased and installed since we bought it in September 2016. I worked on this with plans to keep it 20 years like my last houseboat.

• Tires
• Spark Plugs
• Spark Plug Wires
• Distributor Cap
• Rotor
• Carb Rebuilt
• Steering helm
• Steering cable
• 3 automatic bilge pumps
• All new wiring. Heavy duty marine grade wiring. Over $200 in wire alone probably.
• LED side navigation lights.
• LED anchor light
• New Fuel tank mounted in hull with side fill
• Dual batteries. One still needs to be wired. Was waiting to see where I wanted to mount the battery charger first.
• Newer gauges.
• All new lighted switch panels. 3 total switch panels. Each bilge pump even has a separate manual override switch.
• Water pump impeller (probably due for another new one since it’s been sitting in the hot AZ summers)
• Installed foam teak flooring
• Built benches for the flip flop sofas. You can lift the cushions up for storage underneath
• Benches flip down to a 76″x80″ KING SIZE BED. How often do you get that in a 25′ boat.
• Back wall cut out to make it more open. Aluminum channels powder coated to frame it in and back curtain made to keep rain out.
• Bluetooth stereo and speakers.
• LED inside lights
• Front spotlights work
• New bearings on trailer.
• 4 new sets of brake backing plates, wheel cylinders, brakes shoes, hardware.
• New brake actuator
• New brake flexible lines and part of hard line is new.

The back of the boat is setup for canvas top and full canvas enclosure if you choose to have one made.

Plenty more that I probably forgot to list and most of the hard work is done.

Great part is you can use the boat as is and finish the remodeling to your liking.

For us I was probably going to be a small countertop up front that was open under it for a place for our dog. In the back I was going to build a large sundeck over the engine compartment with a flip up porta potti under it like you have on the pontoon boats.

Boat is 8′ wide and trailer is 8′-6″ so you can tow it anywhere. If I had to guess the weight I would say 4700 lbs and probably 6700 lbs total with trailer. I’m just guessing here based on the 4720 lbs of the Land N Sea from that age which was a similar boat.
