Beachcraft 1000 now in the online auction. Everyone can place a bid until 19 October 2026.
What are the main dimensions?
The Beachcraft 1000 has a length of 10 metres, a beam of 3.28 metres and a draught of approximately 1 metre. Her air draught is around 2.48 metres. The boat weighs approximately 6,542 kilograms. Inside, she offers 1.95 metres of headroom, giving the accommodation a spacious feel. The permanent berth is suitable for two people. In addition, two extra berths can be created, allowing up to four guests to stay overnight.
What is the accommodation like on board?
Inside, the Beachcraft features a generous living area with a spacious bedroom. The facilities on board make her suitable for independent living on the water. She is equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, cooking appliance, oven and microwave. Mattresses, hot water and hot-air heating are also available. The water tank has a capacity of approximately 450 litres, which is convenient during multi-day trips.
The floor is insulated with cork. This contributes to a pleasant interior climate and also helps reduce engine noise in the interior. The generous headroom makes the boat particularly suitable for people who want to be able to stand comfortably upright during a weekend or holiday. The combination of living space, sleeping accommodation and kitchen facilities makes her a practical motorboat for recreational use.
Which engine does this motorboat have?
The boat is powered by a 1981 Mercedes inboard diesel engine. This six-cylinder engine produces 39 hp and has electric starting. According to the available information, the engine is operational. Fuel consumption is approximately 4.5 litres per hour and the diesel tank has a capacity of around 600 litres. Her maximum speed is approximately 20 kilometres per hour.
Steering is by means of a wheel. The Beachcraft has a single rudder and an electric bow thruster. Combined with her short turning radius, this gives her pleasant manoeuvring characteristics in harbours and when mooring. The instruments include a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge, ensuring that important engine information is clearly available while cruising.
What navigation and electrical equipment is present?
For navigation and communication, she has AIS, a depth sounder, compass and VHF radio. The electrical system operates on 12 and 220 volts. On board there is a battery charger, alternator, inverter, voltmeter and shore power connection. There are six batteries with a total capacity of approximately 750 ampere-hours. According to the description, both the service batteries and the starter batteries have been replaced.
The electrical facilities on board provide a practical basis for staying aboard. Thanks to the inverter, various appliances can also be used without shore power, depending on the load and the condition of the battery system. The electric bilge pump helps keep the bilge dry.
What exterior equipment does the boat have?
Outside, the Beachcraft offers plenty of comfort and convenience. She has a bimini, sprayhood, cockpit tent, exterior cushions, davits, guardrails, a bathing platform and a swimming ladder. Fenders, lines and fender holders are also included. This means the boat can be put to practical use immediately for day trips and longer stays.
The cockpit provides a pleasant place to sit outside while under way or in harbour. The tent can offer protection from the wind and changing weather conditions. The bathing platform with swimming ladder makes it easy to enter and leave the water from the stern. For anchoring, one anchor with chain is provided and operated with a manual winch. Safety equipment includes a lifebuoy.
Which works still require attention?
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2021 and received her last antifouling treatment at that time. This is an important point of attention for the future owner, while also providing an opportunity to finish the underwater hull according to their own preferences.
The superstructure, side decks and railing have recently been painted. The windows and tent panels have also been replaced. These works give her exterior a well-maintained appearance. As with any used boat, it is advisable to inspect her carefully during a viewing and personally check the operation of the engine, systems, navigation equipment and safety equipment.
Who is this Beachcraft suitable for?
This steel motorboat is suited to a buyer looking for a spacious boat for inland waterways, weekend trips and holidays. She offers plenty of room to move around, a practical galley, a full-size sleeping area and facilities for longer stays. Her economical diesel engine, bow thruster and short turning radius also make her suitable for relaxed cruising and manoeuvring in harbours.
The Beachcraft 1000 is supplied with, among other things, mooring lines, fenders and fender holders. Available documentation includes registration forms, a waterways permit and proof of purchase. Anyone wishing to prepare her further for the new boating season can start with the underwater hull and the planned painting work on the hull. After that, she will be ready for new cruises, enjoyable weekends and longer holidays on the water.
