For overnight stays there are two berths available: one fixed bed and an additional sleeping option. The installed heater provides warmth on cooler days.
Engine and technical specifications
Propulsion is provided by a Mercedes 208 CDI five-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 177 hp. This inboard engine was installed in 2015 and has approximately 980 running hours. The engine is electrically started and is connected to a 400-litre fuel tank. Cruising speed is around 14 km/h, with a maximum speed of approximately 17 km/h. Steering is via a wheel in the cockpit. The boat is equipped with an electric bow thruster, making manoeuvring easier. The boat is fitted with a stern drive, which was overhauled in 2022; the invoice is available for inspection.
Electrical system and navigation
The electrical system consists of three batteries with a total capacity of 220 Ah. Power supply is supported by an alternator, inverter, shore power connection and a solar panel. On-board voltage is 12V and 220V. Navigation equipment includes a depth sounder, fishfinder, chartplotter and VHF radio. The boat is equipped with instruments such as a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer. A Victron generator is present for additional power supply.
Exterior and deck equipment
The exterior space features a U-shaped seating area in the open cockpit, a feature that is not standard on this type of Princess. The cockpit is equipped with a cockpit table, cockpit tent, sprayhood and bimini. For extra comfort there are exterior deck cushions, a teak deck, bow and stern seats, a swim ladder and davits. The boat has a manual anchor windlass with anchor, chain and line. The cockpit is self-draining, contributing to safety on board.
Maintenance and condition
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2023, during which an antifouling treatment was also applied. No signs of osmosis are known. The boat’s documentation is present. The boat is not registered. No known defects have been reported by the current owner.
Use and cruising experience
The current owner has used the boat over the past two years for leisure cruising, day trips and weekend stays. The boat has mainly been used on inland waterways, lakes and rivers.
