Specifications
The Westlander Vlet Deksuit 970 is a steel barge with a length of 9.70 meters and a width of 2.50 meters. This boat is suitable for use on inland waters such as canals, ditches, and lakes. With a flat bottom and a clearance height of approximately 1.00 meter, this vlet is suitable for low bridges and shallow waters. The draft is about 70 cm. The standing height inside is approximately 80 cm, which makes the boat particularly suitable for outdoor use.
Construction and Material
The hull and deck are entirely made of steel. In the summer of 2024, the exterior of the hull was treated with a two-component epoxy tar, which contributes to protection against corrosion. The interior of the hull is also largely coated with this material. The upper deck is finished with a two-component epoxy paint. These treatments were carried out while the boat was on land, which was also the time for the last antifouling treatment in 2024.
Motorization
The boat is equipped with a Mercedes-Benz OM 636 diesel engine, a four-cylinder inboard engine with a power of 36 hp. This engine is electrically started and dates from around 1970. In 2024, maintenance was performed on the engine, including the replacement of oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and glow plugs. The oil of the Velvet reversing gear was also replaced. The engine is operational and can be started during viewing.
Steering and Technology
Steering is done via a steering wheel. The steering cables, including throttle cable and lever, have already been installed. The boat has a single rudder. Electricity is supplied via a dynamo and a single battery with a capacity of 1050 Ah. A bilge pump is installed and connected to the battery. The dashboard and other electronics are present but still need to be connected.
Interior and Finishing
The Westlander Vlet is not yet fully completed. Construction of a steering console and the installation of benches made of bankirai wood in the front part of the boat have begun. The wood to further finish these benches is available and will be provided. A tarpaulin is also available, intended to be custom-made for protection against weather conditions.
The following tasks are still required for full completion. First, the aft deck needs to be finished, after which the benches can be completed. Additionally, it is necessary to connect both the steering console and the throttle lever. The diesel tank needs to be cleaned or, if necessary, replaced and then reconnected. Furthermore, welding work on the upper deck must be carried out. Finally, the installation and connection of the dashboard and other electronics are required to fully complete the project.
This Westlander Vlet offers a solid foundation for those looking for a characteristic steel barge with room for personal finishing. The boat is suitable for recreational use and offers opportunities for further customization and furnishing.
