Cruisers Inc. Barnegat now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Cruisers Inc. Barnegat – classic wooden speed cruiser For those in search of a characterful classic with a distinct American allure, the 1967 Cruisers Inc. Barnegat is a top choice. This vintage wooden motorboat was built in West Bend, Wisconsin (USA) and later brought to the Netherlands. With a length of approximately 8.00 meters and a width of 3.00 meters, it boasts a bold, wide stance on the water, fitting the era where style and performance went hand in hand. This classic cruiser has been used on inland waters for day trips and boating pleasure, evident in its practical equipment and focus on outdoor living on board. Cruisers Inc. Barnegat now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Timeless wooden construction and classic lines The hull and superstructure are crafted from wood, giving the Cruisers Inc. Barnegat that warm, distinctive look rarely found in modern fiberglass boats. Wood demands attention and an owner who understands the material, but it also provides a unique experience: the appearance, sound, and feel of a true vintage motorboat. The boat has recently undergone maintenance out of the water and was antifouled in 2024. Additionally, it was stripped down and repainted two years ago, enhancing its sleek and well-maintained presentation, accentuating its classic lines. Boating experience: stable, wide, and sporty On the water, the Barnegat is known for its stable ride. The combination of its width and weight (approximately 2000 kg) gives a solid impression when boarding, maneuvering, and cruising on inland waters. Steering is done via a wheel from an exterior position, suiting the open character of this cruiser: you sail "into" the surroundings, with direct contact with wind and water. The dual rudder contributes to control and course stability, especially when sailing with two engines, keeping the boat nicely balanced. Performance and propulsion: two 150 hp Mercruisers One of the great features of this classic speed cruiser is its propulsion. The boat is powered by two 150 hp Mercruiser gasoline engines (1967), each with six cylinders and electric start. Together, they provide a powerful setup that matches the "wolf in sheep's clothing" character: a friendly vintage look with serious boating capabilities. The stated top speed is around 65 km/h, making this wooden cruiser appealing to enthusiasts who enjoy both leisurely cruising and spirited acceleration. The engines have undergone a major service; the invoice is available, and worn parts have been replaced. Common gauges like an oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer are present for monitoring. The fuel tank has a capacity of approximately 200 liters, suitable for day trips and sporty use. One known point to note: the fuel gauge only indicates up to half a tank, something to consider when planning longer voyages. Deck equipment: comfort for day trips This Cruisers Inc. Barnegat is set up for relaxing days on the water. Outside, you'll find a bimini for shade, outdoor cushions for seating comfort, and a swim ladder for easy access after swimming. It also comes with fenders and lines, as well as deck cover(s) for protection in the harbor. For safety and practical use, there is an electric bilge pump on board. Anchoring can be done with an anchor on a line; an anchor windlass is not present, fitting the ship's simple, classic character. Electrical system and batteries The electrical system is well-organized with a dynamo and voltmeter. There are three batteries onboard: one for each engine and one for other consumption. These batteries have been recently replaced, ensuring reliable starts and the use of onboard electricity during a day on the water. Layout and usage: pure day cruiser with a classic character With an interior standing height of approximately 0.80 meters, this boat is primarily a day cruiser: designed for outdoor living, cruising, and enjoying the classic design. Toilet and heating are not included, emphasizing its focus on daytime use. This makes the boat ideal for enthusiasts of vintage speedboats, classic wooden motorboats, and American cruisers who prefer navigating inland waters, docking at a terrace or a beautiful anchorage, and occasionally accelerating sportively. Known points of attention and boating characteristics A ship from 1967 comes with a certain "manual," and that is honestly acknowledged. Besides the fuel gauge indicating only half, the trim tabs are fixed. This means that optimizing your sailing behavior and trim mainly depends on load, speed, and engine configuration. For many classic boat enthusiasts, this is part of the charm: sailing consciously and getting to know the boat. This Cruisers Inc. Barnegat combines classic American style, wooden allure, and twin-engine performance into a striking vessel. For buyers seeking an authentic vintage cruiser with speed, character, and a true 1960s experience, this is a motorboat you must see and experience.
