classic bakdekker with character and spacewhat makes this bakdekker special?this 1927 bakdekker 1150 is a characterful classic motorboat with a distinctive appearance, a practical layout and a rich boating history. with a length of approximately 11.50 metres, a beam of 2.75 metres and a shallow draught of around 0.90 metres, she is ideally suited to cruising inland waterways, lakes, ponds, rivers, canals and ditches. her sharp hull design allows the boat to move smoothly through the water. thanks to her shallow draught, she can also reach places where deeper vessels cannot navigate.the high forward-deck superstructure gives this lady a recognisable silhouette and provides additional space on board. however, this also means that she catches relatively large amounts of wind in strong conditions. the helm is located inside the wheelhouse and is operated by a steering wheel. the boat has a single rudder and, as is appropriate for a classic vessel of this size, requires an active and attentive approach to manoeuvring. there is no bow thruster. when mooring on the windward side, the stern is generally brought alongside first.how is the accommodation laid out?the accommodation is roughly divided into four sections. at the front is a sleeping area with two fixed berths. with the help of wooden supports, these berths can be converted into one large bed. two freshwater tanks are located beneath the beds. the sleeping area is closed off by two sliding doors with beautiful stained-glass windows. this gives the interior a distinctive, nostalgic atmosphere that fits perfectly with the vessel’s year of construction and the classic appearance of this steel boat.behind this are the galley and saloon in one combined space. the galley has a granite worktop with a small sink and cupboards underneath. water is supplied by a foot pump. on the opposite side there is a second granite worktop, also with storage space underneath. this area contains two benches. these can also be converted into a large bed, providing space for up to two additional berths alongside the two fixed sleeping places. the space beneath the benches offers practical storage for provisions, crockery, clothing and boating equipment.the wheelhouse forms the third section of the boat. it is constructed from meranti wood and fitted all around with 5-millimetre toughened glass. this arrangement gives the wheelhouse the character of a light conservatory, with an all-round view of the waterway. two hinged doors lead to the aft deck. sliding doors are fitted on the sides. beneath the wheelhouse floor is the sound-insulated engine room.behind the wheelhouse is the aft deck with guardrails. the diesel tank and additional storage space are located beneath this deck. the panelling has deliberately been kept simple. it offers a future owner plenty of opportunities to complete the boat according to their own taste and create a personal interior.which engine is installed in this classic boat?this bakdekker is powered by a Peugeot Indenor DT 166 diesel engine. it is a six-cylinder inboard engine from 1970 with an output of 60 hp. the engine starts electrically and is operational. the stated engine-hour reading is approximately 2,700 hours. the diesel tank has a capacity of approximately 100 litres. the stated fuel consumption is around 3 litres per hour. this gives her an expected cruising speed of approximately 10 kilometres per hour and a maximum speed of around 15 kilometres per hour.the wheelhouse is equipped with an oil-pressure gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer. the engine room is located beneath the floor and sound-insulated, ensuring a comfortable stay in the wheelhouse while cruising. the boat was lifted out of the water for maintenance in 2026, and antifouling was applied in the same year.is this boat suitable for longer stays?yes, this bakdekker is well suited to day trips, weekends and holidays on the water. the combination of two fixed berths
