Specifications
Motorboat 960 ready for boating enjoyment
This 1985 Motorboat 960 is a steel motorboat in a pleasant size for those who want to cruise comfortably on inland waterways. With a length of 9.60 metres and a beam of 3.20 metres, she offers a nice balance between onboard space and easy handling in marinas and locks. Her draft of approx. 0.60 metres also makes her interesting for routes where you’d rather not draw too much water. The air draft of about 2.50 metres helps when planning routes under bridges, while the interior headroom of around 1.70 metres provides a practical layout for staying on board.
The boat is steel-built and weighs approx. 7,500 kg, giving her a solid presence. She has been used for holidays and day trips on inland waters and, according to the owner, has only been used to a limited extent. This makes her especially attractive for buyers looking for a complete motorboat to head out at a relaxed pace, without immediately expecting a major project.
Motorboat 960 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 6 July 2026.
What makes this Motorboat 960 suitable for inland waterways?
Her dimensions are typical of a comfortable inland cruising motorboat: not too large for marinas, yet spacious enough to stay aboard with several people. With a cruising speed of about 14 km/h, she is well suited to relaxed touring. Thanks to the relatively shallow draft, you can choose many routes, including shallower stretches. Navigation equipment is present in the form of a compass and VHF radio, which is convenient for communication and maintaining a sense of course underway.
How is comfort on board arranged?
Inside you’ll find a dinette and basic amenities that make staying aboard pleasant, such as a refrigerator and microwave. Mattresses are present and she has three fixed berths, making her suitable for a weekend away or a longer holiday on the water. The water tank has a capacity of approx. 500 litres, which in practice offers plenty of freedom when anchoring or mooring in places without a direct water supply.
The toilet is manual. Please note that, according to the owner, the toilet discharge goes directly into open water; it is advisable to check what is permitted in your cruising area and whether you may want to modify this. For power supply, shore power is available, supplemented by a solar panel. She has three batteries with a total capacity of 130, and both 12V and 220V are available on board, making it easier to use equipment in the marina and underway.
Which engine is installed and what can you expect?
She is equipped with a Peugeot inboard diesel engine of 52 hp, year of manufacture 1985, with electric start and four cylinders. According to the owner, the engine is operational. Instruments such as a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge are present, helping you keep an eye on the key values while cruising. For those searching terms such as inboard diesel motorboat, steel motorboat 10 metres, or Motorboat 960 for sale, this is a combination often appreciated for its calm character and practical usability on canals, rivers and lakes.
What has been done recently in 2025?
In 2025 she was taken out of the water for maintenance and the antifouling treatment was also carried out. In addition, work is mentioned on the hull and the interior electrical installation, carried out in February 2025, with invoices available. The exterior woodwork was also redone in the summer of 2025. Furthermore, the engine compartment was refitted this year with fire-retardant and sound-insulating materials, contributing to a more pleasant stay on board.
The owner indicates that a few rust spots are visible on the exterior. This is not unusual for a steel boat of this age and gives a buyer a clear idea of what to pay extra attention to during an inspection. The upper deck has been painted with Epifanes Monoplan and the blue hull as well, giving her a well-kept appearance.
Outside you’ll find, among other things, exterior cushions, a cockpit table and bow and stern chairs. A crane/hoist is also present, which can be practical for moving items. For extra fun, a tender is included: a plastic fishing dinghy with an electric motor, reportedly unused. In terms of safety, a lifebuoy and liferaft are present, as well as an electric bilge pump.
This Motorboat 960 is offered via Boatauction and is an inviting choice for anyone looking for a steel motorboat with usable amenities, recent work carried out, and a size that makes many cruising areas accessible. Documentation such as invoices and technical documents is available. Viewing is worthwhile: it allows you to experience how she feels, how the onboard space works, and whether this is the motorboat with which you’ll start your next boating season.
