Remus 420 ready for relaxed boating fun
Anyone looking for a compact polyester sloop that’s easy to handle yet offers surprisingly many possibilities will find this Remus 420 an appealing candidate. The boat is offered via Boatauction and is intended for anyone who likes to head out on the water spontaneously—whether that’s on canals and ditches, lakes and ponds, or rivers and other inland waterways. With a length of around 4.30 metres and a beam of 1.40 metres, she’s easy to manage at the dock, simple to manoeuvre, and pleasant to use for a day of leisure cruising.
The Remus 420 is built from polyester, a material popular for sloops and small motorboats thanks to its ease of use and practical properties. Her draft of approximately 20 centimetres also makes her interesting for shallower routes and calm cruising areas that are harder to reach with a deeper boat. The steering position is outside, which suits the open character of this type of boat and relaxed trips on sunny days.
What kind of boat is the Remus 420 exactly?
The Remus 420 is a compact open motorboat suited to recreational use on inland waters. She is designed for low-threshold boating enjoyment: step aboard, start up, and go. Thanks to her size, the boat is suitable for smaller berths and for skippers looking for a nimble sloop. At the same time, the Remus—partly due to her open layout—offers a spacious feel on board for her dimensions. This makes her interesting for couples, small families, or anyone who enjoys taking friends out for a cruise.
How does she run with the Mariner 8 hp outboard?
Mounted on the transom is a Mariner F8ML outboard engine with 8 hp, a four-stroke long-shaft. This setup is popular with those looking for a practical outboard for cruising and relaxed boating. The engine is hand-started and comes with an external fuel tank, which is convenient for longer afternoons on the water. With 8 hp she is well suited to making good progress on inland waters, with the emphasis on comfortable cruising and easy manoeuvring at moorings and bridges.
What equipment comes with this boat?
This Remus 420 is offered as a complete boat without a trailer. On board, exterior cushions are included, immediately improving seating comfort during a day on the water. There is also a swim ladder, a nice addition for anyone who likes to take a dip or simply wants to board easily from a low quay. These are exactly the kind of practical details that make an open sloop that little bit more inviting for summer outings.
What is known about maintenance and condition?
According to the available information, the boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. No indications of osmosis or traces of it have been reported. This is relevant information for anyone searching terms such as buying a polyester boat, polyester sloop, or second-hand sloop without osmosis. The year of build is not stated, but the boat is described as being in new condition. In practice, this means she presents as a fresh, tidy appearance for someone who wants a well-kept boat that looks smart and invites you to go boating right away.
What was she used for and what can you do with her?
The Remus 420 has been used for day trips and leisure cruising on inland waters, including canals and ditches, lakes, ponds, and rivers. That usage profile fits well with her dimensions and shallow draft. Think of a calm cruise through the city, an afternoon drifting on a lake, or a relaxed route along reed beds and small mooring spots. Anyone looking for a small sloop with an outboard, an open motorboat for inland waters, or a compact boat for canals will find this Remus a logical match.
This lot offers an accessible way to become the owner of a Remus 420 with a Mariner 8 hp outboard. She is waiting for a new skipper to bring her back onto the water and use her for what she was made for: carefree enjoyment of every free day on board.
