The Motorboat 950 is a steel motorboat of approximately 9.50 metres in length and 2.80 metres in beam, designed for relaxed cruising on inland waterways. With a shallow draft of around 0.40 metres, this type is ideally suited to canals, ditches, lakes, ponds and rivers, where you often benefit from extra accessibility and the ability to explore shallower stretches. This boat is offered as a project boat with potential: an interesting starting point for buyers who want to build out a steel motorboat to their own taste, layout and comfort level.
The basic dimensions make the Motorboat 950 attractive for those looking for a practical length that is still easy to manoeuvre, yet can offer enough space for weekend trips and leisure cruising. The steel hull matches the character of many classic and functional motorboats in this segment: robust in appearance, with a timeless line that lends itself well to both a straightforward refit and a more personal, stylish finish.
At 9.50 metres long and 2.80 metres wide, this motorboat falls into a popular class for Dutch inland waters. The combination of a relatively compact beam and a shallow draft generally makes navigating narrow canals and ditches easier, while on lakes and open waters you can still create a stable platform, depending on the final fit-out and loading. Steering is via a wheel from an inside helm position, which is pleasant in changeable weather and can extend the boating season because you are sheltered.
The single rudder provides a classic, direct steering response that many skippers appreciate when cruising at a relaxed pace and when mooring in harbours or along quays. For buyers who enjoy tinkering and optimising, this type of boat also offers scope to further fine-tune the handling to the intended use—for example by paying attention to rudder alignment, propeller choice, or refining the steering system.
For many enthusiasts, steel is an important reason to consider this kind of motorboat. Steel provides a solid base and is easy to work with, which makes it interesting as a project boat. Because this Motorboat 950 is described as being in poor condition, it is realistic to allow for work on both the hull and the superstructure and interior. That is precisely where the opportunity lies for the right buyer: you can build the boat up step by step into a comfortable weekend cruiser, a practical day boat, or a compact “mini houseboat” for recreational use.
A project like this also lends itself to modernising systems and finishes. Think of redesigning the interior, improving insulation, renewing wiring and lighting, or adjusting the layout to create more seating, storage or sleeping space. With a length of 9.50 metres, there is generally enough potential to realise a cosy saloon, a simple galley and berths, depending on the current situation and your plans.
The Motorboat 950 is especially interesting for buyers who appreciate the charm of a steel motorboat and want to decide for themselves what the end result will look like. The inside helm contributes to a sheltered cruising experience, which is pleasant on longer trips along rivers or on cooler days on open water. With the right approach, this boat can grow into a great companion for leisure cruising, a day out on the water with family or friends, or a weekend away, moving calmly from mooring to mooring.
As no tender and no trailer are included, the focus is on use from a permanent berth or via a marina. That fits well with the character of a 9.50-metre motorboat that you build up as a project and then use for cruising on inland waterways.
This Motorboat 950 is particularly suitable for the practical, hands-on boater looking for a steel motorboat as a refurbishment project, and who values a favourable length-to-beam ratio and a shallow draft for Dutch inland waters. Anyone who enjoys restoring and fitting out a boat to their own ideas will find a base here with plenty of freedom: from a functional cruiser to a personally finished weekend boat. With the right investment of time and attention, this can be an attractive route for someone who not only wants to cruise, but also enjoys creating their own vessel.
