Specifications
Motor Cruiser 850 from 1970 – Steel Classic for Inland Waters
This Motor Cruiser 850 from 1970 is a steel motorboat with a length of 8.50 meters and a width of 2.70 meters. Thanks to the chine hull shape and the relatively low clearance height of 2.50 meters, this boat is suitable for a wide range of inland waters, including canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers. The boat is designed for recreational use and offers space for four people, with two fixed berths and two additional sleeping places.
Layout and Comfort Onboard
The interior space of the motor cruiser is efficiently arranged, with a standing height of 1.80 meters. This makes staying on board comfortable, even for longer periods such as vacations or weekend trips. The accommodation is equipped with a dining area, a stove, mattresses, and a manual toilet. Hot water is available, contributing to basic comfort.
The steering position is dual, meaning it can be operated both inside and outside. This offers flexibility in different weather conditions. Outside, the boat is equipped with a bimini, davits, tarpaulins, fenders, lines, and a swim ladder. An electrically operated bilge pump is present for extra safety.
Engine and Technical Specifications
The boat is equipped with an inboard diesel engine from the brand Vetus Peugeot, type 417. This four-cylinder engine delivers a power of 42 hp and is electrically started. The exact age of the engine is unknown, but it is not original and was installed at a later time. The cruising speed is around 10 km/h, which is suitable for leisurely tours on inland waters.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 60 liters. For the electrical installation, the boat is equipped with an alternator, inverter, and shore power connection. There are two batteries present, operating on a 12v system. A solar panel is available but still needs to be connected.
Maintenance and Condition
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025. The last antifouling treatment dates from 2021. There are some known points of attention, including the need for a filling and painting job. The hull is made of steel and has a chine shape, which contributes to stability on the water.
Documentation is available in the form of various user manuals. The boat is not registered.
History and Use
The current owner purchased the boat five years ago with overdue maintenance. Since then, a lot of work has been done to refurbish the boat. Due to health reasons, completing the remaining work is no longer possible. The boat has mainly been used for pleasure cruising, day trips, and vacations on inland waters.
Conclusion
This Motor Cruiser 850 offers a solid foundation for water sports enthusiasts looking for a classic steel ship with potential. The boat is suitable for recreational use on inland waters and offers sufficient space and amenities for short vacations or day trips. With a few finishing touches, this ship is interesting for DIY enthusiasts or lovers of classic motorboats looking for a project with character.
