Why is this boat being sold? The reason for sale is a serious engine problem. The existing Peugeot diesel engine with 40 horsepower is currently non-operational. The cylinder head gasket is irreparably damaged, and the engine needs to be replaced. This is an important consideration for you as an interested buyer and should be taken into account in your assessment and budgeting. Therefore, the boat is offered as a project where you must consider installing a different engine. The seller indicates that the engine started well before this issue arose and that the boat maneuvered pleasantly both forward and backward. This information pertains to the period when the engine was still functioning. At this moment, the boat cannot be expected to operate independently. The existing electric bow thruster can provide additional maneuverability with an appropriate technical installation, but its functionality must be assessed during the viewing day itself. What recent work has been done? The underwater hull was stripped bare in May 2026 and then treated with primer, paint, and antifouling. According to the seller, these costs amounted to over €7,000. This work is a relevant part of the maintenance history but does not resolve the engine problem. The boat was last out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The electrical system is described by the seller as being in good order. Onboard are a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, and tachometer among other instruments. Since the engine needs replacement, it’s wise to also pay attention to connections, wiring, instruments, and technical possibilities for a new engine installation during your assessment. What is the layout onboard? Inside, the Aquanaut features a dining area, a cooking stove, and mattresses. The sleeping area provides two fixed berths with room for two additional sleeping places when reconfigured. A manual toilet is present onboard; waste disposal goes directly into open water. This detail is important for your usage plans and how you intend to manage toilet facilities onboard. The water tank has a capacity of approximately 100 liters. Heating is provided by hot air systems. Outside you will find a cockpit tent, handrails, fenders, lines, a swim platform, and a swim ladder. There’s also an electrically operated bilge pump on board along with a lifebuoy and a manually operated anchor winch complete with anchor, chain, and line. Is this boat suitable for your plans? The Aquanaut 750 may appeal to someone looking for an affordable steel motorboat who is willing to invest time, knowledge, and budget into an engine replacement. Its dimensions make it suitable for smaller waterways and sheltered inland waters. With a new or suitable replacement engine installed, it can be reconfigured for leisurely day trips or longer weekends. Anyone seeking a boat that’s ready to use should consider additional work before it can navigate independently again. The non-operational engine remains the central focus of this auction; therefore it's wise to carefully examine the condition of the hull, technical installations, fuel tank, propeller shaft, and connections. Where can you view it? The boat is currently located in Amsterdam. During the viewing day you can closely inspect it along with its equipment, living space, and technical components. Since an engine replacement is necessary; it's prudent to make an accurate estimate of costs associated with disassembly, purchase of a new engine installation as well as any modifications needed for propulsion. For those searching online to buy a boat; this Aquanaut could be an interesting candidate if you're looking for a project boat that fits your experience level. Additionally when searching for second-hand boats; it's important not only to consider purchase price but also immediate technical investments required upfront. Handy tips when buying boats include: check construction quality; assess electrical installations; investigate possibilities for replacing engines; and factor necessary work into your overall budget. The Aquanaut 750 is a compact steel boat with a warm usage history; practical layout; and recently addressed underwater hull issues while simultaneously requiring clear technical attention due to its defective Peugeot diesel engine. For buyers looking to prepare her step-by-step for new adventures ahead; she could serve as an excellent starting point.
