classic steel motor cruiser with character
Boatauction is offering this 1982 Motorboat 1050: a classic steel motor cruiser with a hard-chine hull, built for relaxed trips on inland waterways and lakes. The boat feels familiar the moment you step aboard. She is spacious, practically laid out, and invites you to spend long days on the water—stopping for coffee in a marina along the way or heading off for a weekend to a quiet spot along the quay. With a length of 10.50 metres and a beam of 3.40 metres, the Motorboat 1050 offers remarkably generous living space, while her draft of approximately 0.90 metres also makes her suitable for many Dutch cruising areas.
Inside, the headroom is about 1.90 metres, which makes staying on board comfortable. The atmosphere is described as cosy, which suits this type of motor yacht: a boat you don’t just use for cruising, but also for living aboard. The foredeck is also a pleasant place to relax, especially on calm days when you truly appreciate her stable handling.

How does this Motorboat 1050 handle on inland waters?
She cruises easily and steadily, thanks in part to her hard-chine hull and the clear, straightforward helm position inside. With a cruising speed around 11 km/h and a top speed of about 13 km/h, this is a motor cruiser made for unhurried touring, not rushing. The electric bow thruster helps with docking and manoeuvring in tight marinas, making her accessible both to experienced skippers and to those buying a steel motorboat to enjoy more weekend trips.
What engine is installed and what can you expect?
The boat is equipped with an economical Peugeot XUD9 diesel engine producing 65 hp, inboard mounted and electrically started. The indicated engine hours are approximately 500. According to the owner, she runs smoothly and starts readily. On board you’ll also find the usual gauges, such as a tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge. With a diesel tank of about 200 litres, she also offers a practical range for longer trips on canals, lakes and waterways.
How is comfort on board arranged?
She offers four fixed berths plus one additional berth, making her suitable for a couple wanting plenty of space or for a family staying on board for a few nights. The accommodation includes, among other things, mattresses, a refrigerator, a freezer and a microwave. Hot water is available, and the water tank has a capacity of approximately 100 litres. The toilet is manual. For anyone looking for a motor yacht with living space and a practical base for holidays and weekend getaways, this layout is a good fit.
Electrically, she is set up for both 12V and 220V, with shore power, a battery charger, alternator and voltmeter. Two batteries are present with a total capacity of approximately 360 Ah. For navigation and communication there is, among other equipment, a VHF radio and a log/speedometer—well suited to relaxed inland cruising.
What is the maintenance condition and what needs attention?
According to the information provided, the boat is in reasonable condition. She was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024, and in the same year the underwater hull was fully treated by the yard (sanding, scraping, 5 coats of Intertuff, 2 coats of antifouling). This provides a solid starting point for the coming boating season. At the same time, it’s wise to take into account a few known points of attention. Not all interior lighting works, and the gas is not connected because there is no gas bottle present. These are items a buyer often prefers to address to their own taste—especially with a classic steel motor yacht, where personalising is part of the charm.
Externally, she is equipped with, among other things, guardrails, fenders and lines, a swim platform and a swim ladder. An electric bilge pump is present and there is a lifebuoy on board. An anchor is included and is attached with a line.
This Motorboat 1050 has been used for day trips, leisure cruising and holidays, with the best memories being long weekends away to charming little harbours. Anyone now looking for a steel motor cruiser to relive that same feeling will find in her an inviting base with space, stability and the familiar character of a classic motor yacht. View her via Boatauction and discover whether she could carry your next boating season.
