The Motorboat 700 is a compact steel motorboat measuring 7.00 metres in length and 2.40 metres in beam, designed for relaxed cruising on inland waterways. With a shallow draft of approximately 0.40 metres, this type of boat is ideally suited to canals, ditches, lakes, ponds and rivers, where manoeuvrability and limited draft make all the difference. This Motorboat 700 is offered as a project boat and is therefore mainly of interest to buyers looking for a restoration project, a fixer-upper, or a base to refit and modernise to their own requirements.
The steel hull gives the boat a robust, classic appearance that fits well with Dutch cruising waters. Steel is also a material that lends itself to repairs and modifications, making this motorboat attractive to DIY enthusiasts and boaters who like to roll up their sleeves. The current condition is described as poor, so it is realistic to expect work on both the vessel and its technical systems and finish.
At 7 metres long, the Motorboat 700 offers practical dimensions: large enough for a comfortable day on the water and also suitable to set up for a weekend away, while mooring in smaller harbours or along city quays generally remains manageable. The 2.40-metre beam provides a stable platform, which is pleasant on open waters and when commercial traffic passes on rivers. The shallow draft makes it possible to explore shallower routes and get closer to the shoreline, which can be an advantage on recreational routes and in nature areas.
As a steel motorboat, this type is generally course-stable and predictable in its steering behaviour. Combined with an inboard engine setup, this can provide an enjoyable cruising experience, with calm running and a solid feel in the water. Because the engine’s operation is unknown, it is wise to approach the boat as a project where final performance will depend on inspection, possible overhaul or replacement, and the chosen configuration.
This Motorboat 700 is equipped with an inboard engine. An inboard installation is appreciated by many boaters for its weight distribution and the characteristic “motorboat feel” that comes with it. At the same time, an inboard drive requires attention to items such as cooling, the fuel system, exhaust, propeller shaft and seals. Since the engine’s operation is unknown, a technical inspection is recommended. For potential buyers, this can be an opportunity: depending on preferences and budget, it may be possible to repair the existing engine or fit the vessel with a different drivetrain suited to the intended use on inland waters.
The Motorboat 700 is an ideal boat for anyone who wants to realise their own plan. Think of refreshing the exterior, addressing the steelwork and redesigning the living space. Given the dimensions, it is often possible to create room for a practical seating and helm position, storage for lines and fenders, and possibly a simple overnight setup. For buyers who want to convert a steel motorboat into a comfortable sloop-style day boat or, alternatively, a compact weekend boat, this model is an interesting starting point.
There are also many options in terms of appearance: from a classic, maritime look with traditional details to a cleaner, more modern finish. With a fixer-upper, it is possible to tailor material choices, colours and comfort level entirely to personal taste.
The boat has been used on inland waters, including canals and ditches, as well as lakes, ponds and rivers. This highlights the versatility of this size of motorboat. For day trips, the Motorboat 700 is a practical companion, and with the right technical and cosmetic work the vessel can also become attractive for weekend trips. Anyone looking for a 7-metre steel motorboat with shallow draft and the freedom to renovate themselves will find potential in this Motorboat 700 project.
This listing is specifically aimed at buyers looking for a project boat and willing to invest in inspection, repairs and refit. This makes it an interesting option for the handy boater seeking an affordable entry into the world of steel motorboats and who enjoys building a vessel to their own wishes.
