The Terhi 300 is a familiar sight among enthusiasts of compact boats who are mainly looking for simplicity, ease of use and a manageable size. With a length of 3.00 metres and a beam of 1.30 metres, this model is a logical choice for anyone seeking a small rowing boat, dinghy or tender for use on canals, lakes and sheltered inland waters. Thanks to its limited draught of approximately 0.50 metres, the Terhi 300 is also suitable for shallower stretches of water and for places that are harder to reach with larger boats. The boat is finished in white GRP (polyester) and features a double-skinned construction, which on this type of boat contributes to a solid, stable feel on the water.

Dimensions, layout and possible uses
With its compact dimensions, the Terhi 300 is particularly interesting as a dinghy for a larger vessel, as a simple leisure boat for short trips, or as a practical boat for transporting items to a berth. The consignor indicates there is space for approximately 3 to 4 people, which suits the character of this type of rowing boat: small-scale, straightforward and intended for relaxed trips on calm water. With a beam of 1.30 metres, the boat feels stable in proportion to its length, which is pleasant when boarding, mooring or when passengers move around.
The double-skinned build is a feature many buyers appreciate in a GRP rowing boat, as it gives the boat a “closed†and robust appearance and in practice often contributes to a quieter, stiffer feel than single-skin variants. For use as a tender, the compact size is an advantage: the boat is easy to handle at the jetty and takes up little space.
Material and handling on inland waters
This Terhi 300 is built from GRP (polyester), a material popular for its combination of a clean look, relatively low weight and an easy-maintenance base. GRP boats are suitable for a wide range of inland-water conditions and are generally easy to clean and refresh. According to the available information, the boat is free of osmosis or any signs of it, which is an important point for many buyers when considering a GRP boat.
On the water, a 3-metre boat offers a direct, relaxed boating experience. You sit close to the water, manoeuvre easily through narrow passages and can moor quickly. This makes the Terhi 300 attractive for use in urban environments such as canals, as well as for recreational use on lakes where you want to cruise quietly or tie up along a bank.
Equipment, condition and points of attention
The boat is described as being in “reasonable†condition, with the known point that it is dirty. In practice, this often means that a thorough clean and some cosmetic attention can significantly improve its appearance. For buyers who enjoy refurbishing a boat themselves, or who are looking for a functional dinghy where looks are less of a priority, this can be appealing. A vignette is present, with the note that it will be cancelled.
As no information has been provided about recent maintenance, antifouling, or when the boat was last out of the water, it is sensible for a buyer to pay extra attention during viewing to the general condition of the hull and interior, and to items such as fixing points, edges and any wear marks consistent with normal use.
Who is this Terhi 300 suitable for?
This Terhi 300 is primarily suitable for buyers looking for a compact GRP rowing boat with a practical double-skinned build, intended for short recreational trips, as a dinghy or as a simple tender. Thanks to its modest dimensions, it is attractive for berths with limited space and for watersports enthusiasts who want a handy boat that is easy to use on sheltered inland waters. Anyone looking for a no-nonsense 3-metre Terhi tender with a stable base and a recognisable, functional design will find this model an accessible option.
