REDDINGSSLOEP 725 now available in online auction. Everyone can place bids until July 6, 2026. Robust REDDINGSSLOEP 725 with potential This REDDINGSSLOEP 725 is a characterful polyester boat with a rugged look and a practical round bilge hull. It measures 7.25 meters in length, 2.30 meters in width, and has a draft of approximately 0.70 meters, making it suitable for versatile use on inland waters. Think of leisurely cruising, a day out with family or friends, or creating a unique canal boat with your own style. The boat is offered through Boatauction as a project boat and is ready for someone who enjoys getting their hands dirty and wants to restore it to a beautiful sailing life. The boat is made of polyester, a material that is popular for open boats and motorboats due to its design flexibility and relatively easy repair when damaged. Its round bilge hull contributes to a classic boat line and provides comfortable stability in the water. Steering is done outside via a steering wheel, with a single rudder. Onboard is a Volvo Penta diesel inboard engine with an indicated power of 30 hp and electric start. This configuration makes it primarily set up as a cruising boat with an inboard engine, which many enthusiasts seek when looking for a solid base for sustainable conversion. What kind of boat is this REDDINGSSLOEP 725 exactly? It is an open boat with robust construction and a clear focus on practical use. Due to its dimensions, the boat is large enough for comfortable stays onboard but still manageable for many moorings and routes on inland waters. The combination of a polyester hull, round bilge hull, and inboard diesel engine makes it interesting for buyers looking for a "polyester project boat," "boat with Volvo Penta inboard," or "project boat" to build according to their own wishes. What condition is it in and what does that require from you? The boat is in poor condition and is offered as-is, as visible in the photos. There is dirt and rainwater inside the boat, and the interior needs attention. There are also signs of deferred maintenance and light corrosion or rust formation on engine parts. This is not a ready-to-sail boat but rather a restoration project for a handy DIYer who enjoys refurbishing, improving, and personalizing. Those who restore it can work towards creating an eye-catching canal or cruising boat with its own character. Does the engine work and what is known about the technology? The functionality of the engine is unknown. It involves a Volvo Penta diesel inboard engine (30 hp) with electric start; however, there are no guarantees regarding starting, running, or functioning of the electronics. Additionally, it is known that the steering wheel has come loose from the console due to hydraulic pump issues. This means you’ll need to account for diagnosis, repair, and possibly replacement or revision of parts before you can sail safely. For buyers looking for an "inboard motor project boat," this type of lot requires technical knowledge or access to a good mechanic. Is it suitable for canals and inland waters? It has been used on inland waters, and its size fits well with cruising trips and urban routes once it has been technically and structurally restored. At 7.25 meters long, the boat offers space for comfortable layout options such as seating areas, storage space, and neat flooring finishes. Its round bilge hull and open cockpit make it appealing for those dreaming of relaxing sailing through canals or over lakes with the sound and experience of an inboard diesel engine as their foundation. What do we know about its background? The boat was obtained through government service execution. Afterward, it was not possible to transfer ownership to an individual. Further history is unknown. For this reason, an inspection is particularly valuable: you can form your own impression of the condition of the hull, cockpit, engine compartment, and steering system to determine what steps are necessary to make it seaworthy again. Boatauction offers this lot for enthusiasts of robust boats, polyester motorboat projects or potential restorations. Take your time to carefully view the photos and preferably attend the viewing day. Those who approach this REDDINGSSLOEP 725 with care can create a personal eye-catcher for upcoming sailing seasons. Lot: Municipal auction Boatauction.com auctions boats on behalf of the municipality of Amsterdam that have not been collected from storage ports. The boats vary greatly in quality; therefore we advise attending the viewing day. Important DATES Online auction: Monday July 6 starting at 20:00 Pickup day: Saturday July 18 between 09:00 and 11:00
