Specifications
Vaillant 550 ready for boating fun
This Vaillant 550 is the kind of boat that immediately makes you start making plans. She’s compact enough to handle easily, yet offers surprisingly plenty of space for a relaxed day on the water. With her length of 5.50 metres and beam of 2.00 metres, the boat feels stable, while her hull shape contributes to pleasant cruising on inland waterways. Steering is via an outside steering wheel, giving you as skipper a good overview and allowing your passengers to sit sociably around you. This is an ideal sports boat for day trips, a loop around the lakes, or an afternoon of active boating with family and friends.
The Vaillant has been used on inland waters, which suits her practical dimensions. With a draught of around 50 centimetres, you can reach many places that larger boats can’t easily access. The air draft of approximately 1.50 metres also makes her suitable for routes with lower bridges, depending on load and conditions. She’s an open day boat where life happens outside: sun, wind and water within easy reach.
Vaillant 550 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 22 June 2026.
What makes this Vaillant 550 interesting for buyers?
This Vaillant 550 is offered with a Yamaha 80 hp outboard engine with electric start. That power gives her a sporty character and makes her attractive for anyone looking for a fast motorboat for recreation on lakes and canals. Think quick planing, enjoyable cruising, and the option to open the throttle a bit when conditions allow. According to the information provided, the boat is in working order and was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025, which is a reassuring reference point for many buyers when considering a used boat.
Also nice: this auction lot includes a trailer. It’s a Freeweel trailer in reasonable condition. That means you don’t necessarily have to keep her in a permanent berth, but can also choose storage at home or transport to another cruising area. For anyone searching terms like “motorboat with trailer” or “sports boat on trailer”, this combination offers a lot of flexibility.
Is she suitable for waterskiing and sporty boating?
Yes, this Vaillant 550 is particularly interesting for watersports enthusiasts. With 80 hp on the transom, she has the power often sought by people who want to waterski or tow an inflatable. The seller indicates that one of the best memories is a day of waterskiing with the children, which fits the character of this boat well. An extra plus is that waterskis with tow lines are included.
What is included with the boat?
This Vaillant comes with practical extras that make getting started easy. Cushions for inside the boat are included, increasing onboard comfort during a day out. In addition, four life jackets are supplied. That’s convenient for families or anyone who likes boating with friends and wants to have safety arranged properly right away. Combined with the waterskis with tow lines, this is clearly a lot aimed at immediate boating fun and active days on the water.
What known points of attention are there?
There is one known point of attention: the windscreen is cracked. That’s important to factor into your decision, for example if you value a clear, tidy screen or want to make the boat look neat cosmetically. At the same time, it’s a concrete and manageable issue, allowing you as a buyer to assess what you may want to address after purchase.
Who is this boat a good match for?
This Vaillant 550 suits someone looking for a used motorboat for inland waters, with a sporty edge and practical size. She’s suitable for day trips, an afternoon of fast cruising, or an active family watersports day. Thanks to her outside steering wheel and manageable dimensions, the boat is also interesting for buyers who like to trailer themselves and explore different cruising areas. Anyone looking for a Vaillant 550 with a Yamaha outboard, a sports boat for waterskiing, or a compact motorboat with trailer will find this auction lot an inviting option.
Be sure to view the photos to get a good impression of her appearance and layout, and be surprised by how much fun a 5.50-metre boat can bring.
