The boat is equipped with a fuel tank of 150 liters.
Accommodation The Hooveld 960AK offers berths for 5 people: 3 fixed beds in the aft cabin and 2 additional berths in the middle of the boat, convertible from the dinette. The headroom inside is 1.95 meters, which provides a comfortable space for movement.
The boat is equipped with a manual toilet with direct discharge into the open water and a 40-liter hot water heater, which is heated by engine cooling water or shore power. The kitchen has a gas stove and a refrigerator (2020 Dometic), so meals can be prepared on board.
There are three batteries on board, with amenities including a battery charger, inverter, solar panel, and shore power connection. Navigation is supported by a chart plotter.
Externally, the boat is equipped with an electric windlass (not connected), swim ladder, bimini, outdoor cushions, and fenders and lines. For safety, the boat is equipped with a fire extinguisher and an electric bilge pump.
Maintenance She was last out of the water for maintenance in 2023, which included an antifouling treatment. The exterior was painted in 2020 and the stern tube was renewed in 2023. A point of interest is a leaking fuel line that has yet to be repaired.
