Motorboat 600 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until July 6, 2026. Charming Motorboat 600 weekender with cabin For those seeking a compact cabin boat with character, this Motorboat 600 named Optimist offers an inviting base for a personal project. She is a hard-chine cruiser approximately 6.00 meters long and 2.10 meters wide, with a draft of about 0.80 meters and a headroom of around 2.10 meters. This makes the boat suitable for many Dutch waterways, from lakes and canals to sheltered urban waters, provided you take her height into account when passing under bridges. Optimist is offered through Boatauction in her current condition. This means: a fair opportunity for the handy water sports enthusiast who enjoys taking on projects and wants to gradually build a nice weekender or small cruiser. Inside, there is a closed steering position with a steering wheel and an open feel, thanks in part to the all-around visibility. The steering is located inside, which is pleasant during unpredictable weather and on cool evenings on the water. Outside, she is equipped with a cockpit tent, allowing you to create additional shelter and living space. At the front, there is a railing that makes moving around the foredeck more comfortable when docking or releasing a line. Motorboat 600 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until July 6, 2026. What kind of boat is the Motorboat 600 Optimist? Optimist is essentially a compact cruiser weekender with an enclosed cabin and practical layout. She offers fixed sleeping accommodations for two people in the bow, making an overnight stay aboard easily accessible once the interior has been refreshed. Due to her dimensions, she is appealing to those looking for a small cabin boat that isn’t overly large or complex but still provides that genuine “being on board” feeling. Think of quiet trips, weekend getaways, or simply having your own spot on the water where you can tinker and later enjoy. What is her condition and what does she require from a buyer? According to reports, the boat is in poor condition and requires visible and technical attention. She has been idle for some time, so you should expect work such as cleaning and organizing the interior, checking the paintwork, and inspecting onboard systems. A thorough inspection of electrical systems and propulsion before intensive use is also wise. Those searching for terms like project boat, fixer-upper boat or DIY boat will recognize this as exactly the type of lot where effort and time make all the difference. Optimist is therefore particularly suitable for someone who enjoys improving things themselves, learning, and making choices regarding finishing touches and equipment. What engine does she have and what is known about its operation? Under the engine cover lies a Bukh DV20, a 2-cylinder inboard diesel engine with 20 hp featuring electric start. This presents an attractive starting point for a compact motorboat with an inboard engine, especially for those who prefer diesel cruising. At the same time, it’s important to emphasize that the operation of the engine is unknown. Therefore, it’s advisable to assume control work: consider fuel systems, cooling systems, lubrication points, battery and wiring checks, along with an overall technical assessment before putting her into use again. For buyers specifically looking for a Bukh diesel motorboat or a cabin boat with an inboard diesel engine, this could be an interesting starting point—provided you factor in uncertainty regarding current operation into your plans and budget. Is she suitable for overnight stays? Yes, conceptually she is suitable. The Motorboat 600 has two fixed sleeping places and a compact cabin layout that lends itself well to simple weekend trips. The atmosphere on board will largely depend on what you make of it: with some fresh cleaning, new cushions or upholstery along with attention to ventilation and lighting, she can become a cozy spot once again. The cockpit tent also adds extra sheltered space which makes staying aboard more pleasant when weather conditions change. Does she fit my cruising area and mooring? With her length of 6 meters and width of 2.10 meters, Optimist is manageable when docking and maneuvering while her hard-chine hull gives her a recognizable classic appearance. The headroom of approximately 2.10 meters is practical information to check beforehand if you pass under many bridges. Additionally, her draft of about 0.80 meters should be considered when navigating shallower routes. Those looking for a compact cruiser or small cabin boat around 6 meters often find these dimensions strike a nice balance between space and maneuverability. Optimist is offered exclusively through auction. Carefully review the available photos and take advantage of viewing opportunities to experience her firsthand—from the cabin to the engine room. For the right buyer, this charming Motorboat 600 calls for attention but also offers the chance to gradually give her back her own future on the water.
