Specifications
Huitema Zeeschouw 800 from 1976 – Authentic Steel Motorboat with Character
The Huitema Zeeschouw 800 is a steel motorboat with a length of 8 meters and a width of 2.70 meters. This vessel, built in 1976, was originally designed as a sailboat but was later converted for use as a motorboat. The mast, sails, and leeboards were removed by a previous owner, making the vessel now solely powered by the engine. The boat has primarily been used on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers in the Netherlands.
With a draft of 80 cm and an air draft of 150 cm, this boat is suitable for a wide range of sailing areas, including shallower waters and areas with low bridges. The interior headroom is 180 cm, providing reasonable freedom of movement inside.
Construction and Materials
The hull of the Huitema Zeeschouw 800 is entirely made of steel, contributing to the robustness of the ship. The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2023, during which an antifouling treatment was also performed. There are some maintenance points to consider, particularly regarding the woodwork and the paint and varnish finish. The door currently does not close optimally, which may be a point of attention for the next owner.
Interior and Accommodation
Inside, the boat offers space for up to five people to sleep, with two fixed berths and three additional sleeping places. The layout includes a dining area, a small kitchen with a stove, a refrigerator, and mattresses. Additionally, there is a manual toilet on board, with the discharge going directly into open water. The living space is functionally arranged and provides basic amenities for short stays on board.
Motorization and Technical Equipment
The Huitema Zeeschouw 800 is equipped with an inboard diesel engine from the brand Vetus, with a power of 20 hp. The engine is from the year 1985 and is reported to be operational by the current owner. There are two batteries on board, which are sufficient for basic amenities and starting the engine. A bow thruster is not present. The boat is not delivered with a dinghy or trailer.
Safety and Equipment
In terms of safety, there is a lifebuoy available. Additionally, the boat comes with kitchen utensils, facilitating the stay on board. The boat is not registered, but the VAT has been paid.
Usage and Sailing Experience
The current owner has mainly used the boat for day trips and recreational sailing pleasure. Due to limited experience with sailing and finding solo use challenging, it has been decided to sell the boat. According to the owner, the engine has had regular maintenance, with services in the spring and autumn. The boat has mainly been used in the Netherlands and has no foreign sailing history.
History and Particulars
The Huitema Zeeschouw 800 has a history as a sailboat but has now been converted into a motorboat. This makes the ship suitable for enthusiasts of classic vessels looking for a characterful motorboat with a traditional appearance. The authentic elements of the ship have been preserved, contributing to the vessel's charm.
Conclusion
The Huitema Zeeschouw 800 offers a combination of classic appearance and functional motorboat performance. With its steel construction, practical layout, and diesel engine, the ship is suitable for domestic sailing areas. For a new owner with an affinity for traditional ships and a willingness to maintain, this ship can be an interesting choice. The boat is available without a trailer and dinghy but comes with various basic amenities for staying on board.
