Accommodations
Houdini has a three-stateroom/three-head layout which includes an owner's suite and guest suite amidships with crew's quarters in the bow. Heads are finished with teak and holly flooring. Traditional varnished teak is used on all bulkheads cabinets rails and drawers. Instead of the traditional dinette the boat's owner opted for an office suite that includes two large file drawers and a desk housing a computer and fax machine (both of which are routed to the boat's landline cellular and satellite phone systems). A bookshelf large chairs bar stools and large granite bar complete with the traditional brass kick bar contribute to the antique look whilethe 42 plasma TV remote-control high/low table and pneumatic pop-up sofa bring a modern edge.
