Classic clinker-built mahogany hull and timeless appearance
What immediately sets this Storebro Solo Ruff 25 apart is its clinker-built mahogany hull. This construction method not only provides an authentic, classic look, but also contributes to that distinctive “wooden boat†feel: warm, handcrafted and elegant. The combination of wood, the classic superstructure and the teak deck creates a nautical style rarely seen on modern boats. For buyers specifically looking for a Storebro, a wooden motorboat or a Swedish classic, Åage offers an appearance that draws attention both in the marina and underway.
Engine: Nanni diesel inboard (2015) with low hours
Ã…age is fitted with a 2015 Nanni diesel inboard engine with electric start and approximately 335 running hours. This setup suits the character of the boat well: comfortable cruising with a diesel engine suitable for longer days on the water. The stated maximum speed is around 15 km/h, which matches relaxed leisure boating and weekend trips. In many Dutch cruising areas this is also a pleasant cruising speed, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings and the water at ease. Relevant gauges are on board, including a tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge, so you can keep an overview of the key engine values while underway.
Cruising experience and inland-water use
Thanks to its limited draft, this Storebro Solo Ruff 25 is interesting for boaters who like to vary their cruising grounds and don’t want to depend on deep water. The boat has been used on inland waters, lakes and rivers and is suitable for a day on the water, leisure cruising and a weekend away. Steering is via a wheel from an inside helm position, providing shelter and comfort in changing weather conditions. The single rudder delivers predictable handling, well suited to relaxed cruising and manoeuvring in marinas and narrow waterways.
On-board comfort: sleeping, cooking and shelter
Inside, Ã…age offers two fixed berths, making an overnight stay on board perfectly feasible. A cooker is present and mattresses are included, making the boat suitable for simple multi-day trips. The water tank has a capacity of approx. 20 litres, practical for basic use during a day or weekend on the water. There is no toilet or heating; this makes the boat especially attractive to buyers who enjoy pure boating, day trips and compact weekend getaways with a classic motorboat.
Electrical system and equipment for cruising
The electrical equipment includes shore power (220V), a battery charger, alternator, inverter and voltmeter. There are two batteries on board with a total capacity of 2x 225 Ah, which is convenient for running onboard consumers while moored or underway. For navigation, a compass is fitted. On deck and in the cockpit, the boat is equipped with features that make time outside more enjoyable, such as a sprayhood, cockpit tent, cockpit table, exterior cushions and covers. The teak deck enhances the classic look and provides a pleasant surface underfoot. In addition, a swim ladder, fenders and lines are included, making mooring and recreational use easier. For anchoring, there is one anchor with line and a manual anchor windlass.
Maintenance information and recent work
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025 and received an antifouling treatment in 2025. This is relevant information for buyers who value an up-to-date maintenance cycle—especially with a wooden boat, where periodic attention is part of ownership.
Including road trailer with registration: easier transport and storage
The sale includes a braked twin-axle Pega road trailer (year of manufacture 2002) with a payload capacity of 2,200 kg. The trailer is equipped with a winch and rollers and makes it possible to transport Ã…age or store her at home, which is a practical advantage for many buyers. Life jackets and custom-made cushions are also included, making it even easier to step aboard and head out.
Ã…age is therefore an attractive Storebro Solo Ruff 25 for anyone looking for a classic wooden motorboat with a diesel inboard engine, shallow draft, comfortable cockpit equipment and the flexibility of a trailerable set-up for a wide range of cruising plans.
