Motorboot 900 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until June 22, 2026. Comfortable motorboat for cruising holidays This Motorboot 900 from 1978 is an inviting companion for those who enjoy relaxing hours on the water. With a generous beam of 3.00 meters and a practical layout, it is suitable for recreational boating, day trips, and longer journeys. The boat has been used on inland waters, lakes, and rivers, as well as on canals and ditches, making it feel at home in the diverse Dutch boating area. Its length is specified as 9.00 meters, with a practical hull length of approximately 8.60 meters without the roof and anchor roller at the bow. With a draft of about 1.00 meter and a clearance height of approximately 3.00 meters, it is appealing for those seeking a motorboat that can handle various routes. What makes this Motorboot 900 attractive for cruising? It combines a pleasant interior climate with amenities that make life on board comfortable. Inside, there is approximately 1.90 meters of headroom, which makes a difference when you stay on board for several days. The accommodation features a dining area that invites long evenings at the table, even when the weather turns. For cooler days, there is hot air heating available so that the season doesn’t have to end as soon as temperatures drop. With five fixed berths and one additional sleeping place, the Motorboot 900 provides space for family, friends, or guests, making it an interesting choice for a motorboat with sleeping accommodations and a compact, practical living space. How does it perform and what can you expect from the engine? The boat is equipped with a Mercedes Benz OM601 inboard diesel from 1982 with approximately 75 horsepower and an indicated operating time of 400 hours. According to the owner, the engine is operational and ready to sail immediately. Its cruising speed is around 14 kilometers per hour and its maximum speed is about 17 kilometers per hour, suitable for relaxed cruising on rivers and lakes. On board are instruments such as a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, and temperature gauge so you can keep track while sailing. Steering is comfortable inside with a steering wheel and a single rudder, which is convenient in changing weather conditions. Is it suitable for off-grid sailing with its own power supply? For those looking for a motorboat with solar panels and additional energy supplies, this is an interesting point. It features a battery charger, dynamo, inverter, voltmeter, wind generator, and solar panel on the roof. There are two batteries present and you can utilize both 12V and 220V on board. This makes it appealing for longer stays at a quiet dock or in a nature harbor where you prefer to be more self-sufficient in your power supply. What about sanitation and water supply on board? On board you will find a water tank of approximately 100 liters and a waste tank of about 20 liters. The toilet is a vacuum toilet and the waste disposal does not go directly into open water, which is a pleasant and practical feature for many boating areas. These facilities make it suitable for weekend trips and vacations where you don’t have to seek out a harbor after every day of sailing. What are the considerations regarding layout and finish? The known peculiarity is that the forward space has not yet been fully completed. At the same time, this offers opportunities for buyers who wish to purchase a motorboat and furnish it to their own taste. According to the owner, almost all materials and mattresses are already available and will be sold with the boat. This allows you to finish the forepeak in a way that suits your plans—whether that's additional storage space, more spacious sleeping arrangements or a cozy seating area. What’s available outside and on deck? Outside it features a teak deck, safety railing, and swim ladder—great elements for summer days and safe movement on board. There is one anchor present with chain and line; the anchor winch is manually operated. For safety purposes there are also life rings and self-draining cockpit along with an electric bilge pump. What navigation and communication equipment is onboard? For those who value visibility and communication on busier waters, AIS (Automatic Identification System) and VHF radio are present. This fits well with trips on rivers and larger lakes where overview and contact with other vessels provide additional peace of mind. This Motorboot 900 is a warm and practical starting point for anyone looking for a diesel motorboat suitable for inland waters—with comfortable headroom, sleeping accommodations, and an interesting energy setup. It was taken out of the water in 2024 for maintenance and received an antifouling treatment in that same year. If you're looking for a motorboat with room to finish it according to your wishes, this is an excellent opportunity to discover it through Boatauction.
