The Motorboat 800 is a steel cabin boat, 8.00 meters long and 2.60 meters wide, designed for leisurely trips on inland waters. With a shallow draft of approximately 0.40 meters, this type of motorboat is primarily suitable for shallower routes such as canals, ditches, and waterways, but also for lakes, ponds, and rivers where a compact, maneuverable boat is enjoyable to navigate. This Motorboat 800 is offered as a project boat: its current condition is poor, requiring a complete renovation. For buyers looking for an affordable entry into a steel cabin boat and who have the time, space, and skills to customize a boat to their own preferences, this could be an interesting opportunity. Motorboat 800 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until March 9, 2026. Dimensions, hull, and sailing characteristics on inland waters. With a length of 8 meters, the Motorboat 800 falls into a popular class for recreational boating: large enough for a cabin layout and weekend use, while docking and maneuvering in narrow harbors or urban waters remains manageable. The 2.60-meter width generally offers a useful balance between stability and navigability, particularly advantageous on canals and smaller waterways. The steel hull is a common feature in Dutch cabin boats: steel is well-suited for modifications and customization during a renovation, such as rearranging the cabin, adding extra insulation, or adjusting deck and superstructure details. The shallow draft of approximately 40 cm theoretically allows for navigating routes where deeper motorboats may face limitations. Consider shallow ponds, reed beds, or routes with limited water depth. However, with a project boat, it is crucial to consider the technical and structural condition: a future owner will need to make the boat seaworthy again before these advantages can be utilized in practice. Cabin boat with possibilities for day trips and weekend getaways. This type of motorboat is intended for a day of boating pleasure, recreational boating, and weekend getaways. An 8-meter cabin boat typically provides space for a sheltered seating and sleeping area, extending the boating season compared to an open boat. Especially during a renovation project, there is an opportunity to tailor the layout and comfort level to the intended use: a practical weekend boat with simple sleeping accommodations, or a cozy touring cabin with more focus on insulation, ventilation, and storage space. As the boat is in poor condition, it is advisable to approach the project as a hull and superstructure process, gradually working towards a functional, safe, and comfortable motorboat. Buyers who enjoy refurbishing a steel cabin boat can find a platform here to make their own choices in materials, finishing, and equipment. Equipment and delivery: focus on self-construction. There is no documentation available. This means that a buyer will mainly rely on their own inspection, expertise, and viewing to assess the scope of work accurately. During the renovation of a steel motorboat, attention often focuses on aspects such as hull condition, preservation, deck sealing, windows and rubbers, electrical installation, fuel system, and overall onboard safety. These are typical focal points for project boats and significantly influence the planning and budget. Style and appearance: classic steel as a basis for a personalized finish. Steel cabin boats have a timeless, functional appearance that suits the Dutch inland waters well. The Motorboat 800, precisely due to the need for renovation, offers the opportunity to customize the style. Consider a classic shipyard look with subtle colors, or a more modern finish with sleeker lines and contemporary details. Practical choices such as non-slip on the deck, new railing parts, or an adjusted cockpit layout can greatly influence the user experience. Who is this Motorboat 800 suitable for? This Motorboat 800 is particularly suitable for buyers actively seeking a project boat: someone who enjoys tinkering, wants to renovate a steel cabin boat, and tailor the end result to navigating canals, lakes, and rivers. Those looking for immediate boating pleasure should consider the current condition and required work. However, for the right owner, this could be an opportunity to build an 8-meter steel motorboat into a personal pleasure craft for day trips and weekend getaways on the Dutch inland waters.
