Slickcraft Speedcruiser now in online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Hull, handling, and appearance The Slickcraft is constructed of polyester and features a V-shaped hull that cuts smoothly through the water at higher speeds and provides a more comfortable ride in waves compared to flatter hull shapes. The boat feels spacious due to its wide dimensions, contributing to stability, further enhanced by the propulsion through fixed propeller shafts. This provides a solid, mechanically direct boating experience appreciated by many water sports enthusiasts, especially during maneuvers and maintaining a steady course. With a draft of approximately 0.80 meters and an air draft of around 2.35 meters, this motorboat is also suitable for a large part of the Dutch inland waters, where bridge heights and depths often determine the navigational route. Engines: two Ford Mercruiser Marine V8 inboards Onboard are two Ford Mercruiser Marine inboard engines, each with a power of 233 hp and a V8 configuration. This dual engine setup gives the Slickcraft its typical sport cruiser character: quick acceleration, ample power, and added control when docking as the two engines allow precise steering based on propeller action. Both engines are electrically startable and reportedly operational. In 2024, both engines underwent major maintenance and inspection, which is reassuring for a buyer in terms of ready-to-use boating and planning for the upcoming season. Comfort onboard: weekend getaway with practical amenities This speed cruiser is not only suitable for day trips but also ideal for a weekend getaway. Inside, there is a dining area and sleeping accommodations with mattresses, allowing two people (and potentially more depending on the layout) to stay onboard overnight. For onboard stays, there is a stove, refrigerator, and freezer, making it easy to remain self-sufficient while on the go. Heating via hot air extends the boating season and ensures comfort in the cabin on cooler days. The toilet is manual. It is noted that the toilet discharge goes directly into open water; potential buyers should consider this when evaluating the usage area and any modifications they may desire. Cockpit and exterior equipment: sheltered seating and easy swimming The boat is equipped with a canopy and cockpit tent, allowing you to enclose the cockpit and sit sheltered in changing weather conditions. Exterior cushions enhance comfort during longer voyages and create a relaxing atmosphere in the cockpit. A swim ladder facilitates practical and safe entry after swimming or docking at a pier. Additionally, fenders and lines are provided to ease mooring, and there is an anchor with chain and line for breaks in calm waters. Navigation, electrical, and safety Basic navigation equipment includes a compass and log/speedometer. The electrical system comprises 12V and 220V, with shore power connection, alternator, and voltmeter. With two batteries, there is a solid foundation for onboard consumers while sailing and during short stays without shore power. For safety, the cockpit is self-draining, and a lifebuoy is available. An electric bilge pump contributes to managing water in the bilge. Maintenance and considerations The boat underwent maintenance in 2024, including antifouling application. Osmosis was addressed and treated. Many buyers appreciate the explicit mention of this issue, allowing them to assess the treatment performed and any documentation or inspections they may wish to conduct. In 2022, the interior and exterior cushions were replaced, according to the owner, and the interior and exterior were reupholstered. A new toilet and tinted windows are also mentioned, enhancing the fresh appearance and comfort onboard. For those seeking a Slickcraft speed cruiser with twin V8 engines, fixed propeller shafts, a spacious cockpit, and amenities for weekend trips, this 9-meter American motorboat offers an intriguing blend of performance, space, and classic sport cruiser style.
