Specifications
Motorboat 800 steel motorboat – project boat for inland waterways, lakes and rivers
This Motorboat 800 is a steel motorboat of approximately 8.00 metres in length and 2.80 metres in beam, designed for relaxed cruising on inland waters. With a shallow draft of around 0.40 metres, this type of boat is interesting for cruising areas where shallows, narrow canals, city waterways and ditches play a role. The boat is offered as a project boat, making it especially attractive to buyers who like to roll up their sleeves and build up or modernise a ready-to-cruise motorboat to their own taste.
The combination of steel as hull material and a compact size makes this a classic starting point for a practical leisure craft. Steel is known for its robust character and lends itself well to modifications, such as reconfiguring the cockpit, adding comfort features or refreshing the exterior. The current condition is described as reasonable and no additional documentation is available, which fits the project nature of this offering.

Dimensions, handling and cruising area
At 8 metres in length, the Motorboat 800 offers a pleasant balance between manoeuvrability and space. On canals and narrow waterways, a boat of this size is generally easy to handle, while on lakes and rivers there is sufficient length to cruise stably and comfortably in changing conditions. The 2.80-metre beam contributes to a solid stance in the water and offers possibilities for a practical layout on board.
The shallow draft of approximately 40 cm is a major plus for those who like to cruise in shallow areas or regularly moor at nature-friendly banks and smaller jetties. This makes the boat suitable for day trips, leisure cruising and weekend getaways, exactly as it has been used before. Think of quiet cruising through urban waterways, a loop around the lake, or a relaxed route along river stretches where a compact motorboat really comes into its own.
Engine: 30 hp outboard (operation unknown)
The boat is equipped with one outboard engine with a stated output of 30 hp and petrol as fuel. In practice, an outboard is often convenient due to easy access for servicing and the relatively straightforward replacement if a buyer wants to upgrade or prefers a different configuration. For this Motorboat 800, the operation of the engine is unknown, which is important to factor into plans and budget. For a project boat, however, this can also be an opportunity: you can have the propulsion checked, overhauled, or choose a different engine solution that suits your cruising profile—such as quieter running, more thrust, or a more economical set-up.
Steel hull and project potential
A steel motorboat offers a solid base for those who value a classic, rugged look and a hull that is well suited to repair and paintwork. Because this boat is offered as a project boat and there is no information about recent maintenance such as antifouling or the last yard visit, the emphasis is on inspecting the hull, underwater body and superstructure yourself. For many buyers, that is exactly the charm: you decide the finish, colour scheme and equipment, and you can work step by step towards a motorboat that matches your wishes.
Cruising experience and layout possibilities
The Motorboat 800 is ideally suited to comfortable cruising. Thanks to its dimensions, there is typically room to create a practical seating and living layout, for example a cosy cockpit arrangement for day trips or a simple weekend layout for short overnight stays. As a project boat, it offers the freedom to opt for extra storage, a different helm layout, or the addition of amenities that make time on board more pleasant.
For buyers looking for an 8-metre steel motorboat for inland waterways, canals, lakes and rivers, this Motorboat 800 can be an interesting starting point. It is a boat with a clear focus on recreational use and a size that is practical in many Dutch cruising areas. Those who enjoy taking on a project and want to build a motorboat to their own ideas will find a base here with potential for many future hours on the water.
