Tugboat 2200 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until June 22, 2026. What makes this tugboat special? This Tugboat 2200 combines a classic steel hull with a powerful, characterful propulsion. It features a 1956 Deutz RV6M 545 inboard diesel engine with 500 hp and six cylinders. The indicated running hours are around 2000. Particularly appealing to traditional technology enthusiasts is the engine's direct reversibility, fitting well with the tugboat feel and maneuvering at low speeds. The propeller is a three-blade cast iron propeller with a diameter of 1600 mm, a size that complements her robust appearance and her role as a powerful pusher and puller in her past. With a cruising speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, she is swift for her class. Is she suitable for living on board? Yes, she can be made suitable for that purpose, with the caveat that there is still work to be done. Inside, there is a headroom of approximately 1.90 meters, which is comfortable for many people on board. The boat has basic accommodation with a dining area, cooking stove, and mattresses, and there are two fixed sleeping berths. The interior still needs to be finished, giving a buyer the opportunity to build her interior according to their own preferences. Those searching for a houseboat tugboat or converting a tugboat into a houseboat will recognize this as a great starting point: the main lines are there, and the finishing touches can be personalized. How is she equipped for navigation and maneuvering? Steering is done with a wheel from an indoor position, with a single rudder. For extra control in harbors and tight spots, she is equipped with an electric bow thruster. Onboard, practical measuring instruments such as a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer are present. In terms of communication and visibility, she is equipped with AIS and a VHF radio, which many skippers appreciate on busier inland waters. Fenders and lines are present on the exterior, and for anchoring, there are two anchors with chain and a manual anchor winch. When was she last out of the water? The boat was last out of the water in 2020 for maintenance, and in the same year, the antifouling treatment was carried out. This provides a clear reference point for a buyer who prefers to continue with a planned maintenance schedule. A steel tugboat from 1952 naturally requires periodic attention, and that's why it's reassuring that the last dry-docking is well-documented in time. What technology and power supply are available? She has an electrical system with 24V and 220V, including shore power, alternator, battery charger, and voltmeter. There are three batteries onboard. With a fuel tank capacity of approximately 8000 liters, she is designed for longer journeys, suitable for those looking for a large tugboat for inland waters or a classic motor yacht alternative with a long range. Heating is not included, inviting some buyers to choose their own heating solution that suits their intended use. What documents are available? Documentation includes a measurement certificate and a CVO, and she has a European number 02010108BA. This is valuable information for buyers who seek clarity on the paperwork for a tugboat, especially if they plan to use her for longer trips or want to document her future use properly. This Tugboat 2200 is an attractive lot for enthusiasts of classic steel vessels, for boaters who appreciate a powerful Deutz diesel, and for buyers who enjoy taking on a characterful project. She offers space, charm, and technology that you don't come across every day, waiting for someone who wants to write her next chapter with joy.
