Specifications
This very authentic ex-Rijkswaterstaat vlet from 1967 comes from the yard Van der Molen & Zn in Zaandam. The ship has a GM 6V71 engine with 6 cylinders from 1985. The vlet is in 2019 and 2020 internally renovated and converted into beautiful nostalgic ship that can serve both as a houseboat, pleasure yacht and also as a service ship because of the SI approval.
So you can go either way with this. The outside of the ship needs a lick of paint, but technically and engine wise the ship is in good condition.
On board is central heating through a Kabola boiler on diesel, and a pellet stove. The ship has no bow thruster, but this can easily be built in. Underwater hull painted and antifouling in 2018. Overwater hull partly painted in 2019, but needs further attention. There is a possibility to build in a shower. Superstructure is made of steel. The ship has two living levels. Above is the wheelhouse which also serves as a living room (headroom 195-200 cm). Below, the ship has 2 large sleeping cabins (headroom 1m90), a hallway with toilet and closet and a large kitchen (headroom 2m50) with train seat. In the large engine room is a 6-cylinder GM 6V71 engine from 1985. There is also a generator and a separate engine for the hydraulics. The Kabola central heating boiler is also located here. The electricity network is 24V and there is also an ample supply of 230V sockets that can also function in the absence of shore power because of the 3000W inverter. The ship currently has 4x180A batteries and a separate battery for the generator and the hydraulic engine. On board there is a built-in AIS, marine radio and radio/CD player. Also, the vessel has a depth sounder and a steering gear.
This vlet is in 2020 SI approved and can therefore also be used as a workboat.
Viewing day
