Motorboat 900 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until June 22, 2026. Comfortable motorboat for boating holidays This Motorboat 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 cruising area. Its length is stated 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 looking for a motorboat that can handle many routes. What makes this Motorboat 900 attractive for cruising? It combines a pleasant indoor 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 aboard for several days. The accommodation features a dining area that invites long evenings at the table, even when the weather turns bad. For cooler days, there is hot air heating available, so the season doesn't have to end as soon as the temperature drops. With five permanent sleeping places and one additional sleeping place, the Motorboat 900 offers 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 she perform and what can you expect from the engine? The boat is equipped with a Mercedes Benz OM601 inboard diesel engine from 1982 with approximately 75 horsepower and an indicated running 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 around 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 single rudder, which is nice in changing weather conditions. Is she suitable for off-grid sailing with her own power supply? For those looking for a motorboat with solar panels and additional energy supplies, this is an interesting point. She comes equipped with a battery charger, dynamo, inverter, voltmeter, wind generator, and solar panel on the roof. There are two batteries present and you can use both 12V and 220V on board. This makes her appealing for longer stays at a quiet dock or in a nature harbor where you prefer to be more independent 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 water tank of about 20 liters. The toilet is a vacuum toilet and the toilet discharge does not go directly into open water, which is a pleasant and practical feature for many cruising areas. These amenities make her suitable for weekend trips and vacations where you don't need to seek out a harbor after every day of sailing. What are the considerations regarding layout and finishing? The well-known detail is that the forward space has not yet been fully completed. At the same time, this offers opportunities for buyers who want to purchase a motorboat and furnish it according 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 fits your plans—whether that means extra storage space, a larger sleeping area or a cozy sitting area. What features are outside and on deck? Outside she features a teak deck, safety rails, and a swim ladder—great elements for summer days and safe movement on board. There is one anchor present with chain and line, and 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 on board? 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 visibility and contact with other vessels provide extra peace of mind. This Motorboat 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 year as well. If you're looking for a motorboat with room to finish it according to your wishes, this is an excellent opportunity to discover her through Boatauction.
