AURORA58' Trumpy Houseboat 1971

AURORA, Contract #444, is the fourth to the last Trumpy built and the last one built for John Trumpy himself. She has always carried her original name and is the only houseboat to be built on the highly successful 58’ hull which, coupled with her Diamond series Cummins diesel, allows her to display a good turn of speed. Her 2nd owner was the State of Maryland for 5 years, followed by four private owners, inclusive of her present; all have cared for her in first-class fashion. The expression “ready to go” is widely used in brokerage listings, but it should be emphasized with AURORA…she truly is ready to go. Those inspecting her will find her in good mechanical and cosmetic condition, with updated systems, and ready to go.
