Specifications
Motorboat 700 Steel – Project Boat with Inboard Engine
This Motorboat 700 is a steel project boat of approximately 7.00 metres in length and 2.80 metres in width, designed for relaxed cruising on inland waterways. With a shallow draft of around 0.39 metres, this type of motorboat is ideally suited to canals, ditches, lakes, ponds and rivers, where manoeuvrability and limited draft make the difference. This is explicitly a project boat: the overall condition is described as poor and the operation of the inboard engine on board is unknown. This makes it an interesting base for buyers who want to refurbish a steel motorboat and finish it to their own preferences.
Motorboat 700 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 9 March 2026.
Dimensions and handling on inland waters
At 7 metres long, this motorboat offers practical dimensions for a wide range of cruising areas. The 2.80-metre beam provides a stable platform, which is especially pleasant on lakes and open water when there is more wave action. The shallow draft makes it possible to explore shallower routes and to moor more easily along quays or nature-friendly banks, depending on local rules and facilities. In practice, this means the Motorboat 700 is suitable for day trips, leisure cruising and weekend getaways—exactly the purposes for which this type of boat is often used.
Because this is a project boat, the eventual boating experience will depend heavily on the choices a new owner makes regarding engineering, finish and equipment. Consider optimising the steering, improving onboard comfort and tailoring the layout to the intended use: quiet cruising through canals, longer trips on rivers or recreational boating on lakes.
Steel hull as a basis for renovation and personalisation
The boat is built of steel, a material often chosen for inland-water motorboats due to its robust appearance and the possibilities for modifications. For buyers who like to build up a boat themselves (or with a yard), a steel motorboat often provides a rewarding base: the layout, interior joinery and technical installations can largely be adapted to taste. There is also plenty of scope in terms of appearance, from classic sloop-like styling to a more functional, tough workboat look.
It is important to take the current condition into account. Since the condition is stated as poor and no information is available about the last out-of-water maintenance or a recent antifouling treatment, a thorough inspection is advisable. With steel boats it is common to pay extra attention to the underwater hull, protective coatings, any corrosion spots, and the condition of through-hull fittings and appendages.
Engine: inboard engine present, operation unknown
There is one inboard engine on board, but its operation is unknown. An inboard configuration suits this type of motorboat well: it can provide quiet cruising, good weight distribution and a tidy look on deck. Depending on the condition of the engine and installation, a new owner may opt for diagnosis and repair, overhaul or replacement—possibly with attention to modern requirements such as improved fuel efficiency and noise comfort.
For those looking for a motorboat to renovate, this is an opportunity to match the propulsion to the intended cruising area. On canals and ditches, smooth manoeuvring is important, while on rivers and larger waters there is often a need for sufficient power reserve and stable handling.
Use possibilities: day trips, leisure cruising and weekend away
The Motorboat 700 was previously used on inland waterways, including canals and ditches, lakes, ponds and rivers. This underlines the all-round character of this size. After renovation, this type of steel motorboat can develop into a practical weekend boat with basic comfort, a cosy day boat for cruising with family or friends, or a compact recreational boat for those who enjoy discovering different cruising areas.
For buyers looking for a project boat with a steel hull and an inboard engine as a starting point, this Motorboat 700 offers a clear foundation: a compact, manoeuvrable platform that, after refurbishment, can grow into a personal motorboat for relaxed cruising on Dutch inland waterways.
