What makes this Mitchell 31 MK2 so attractive?
This Mitchell 31 MK2 appeals to enthusiasts looking for a solid motor yacht with a timeless design and pleasant handling. Thanks to her semi-displacement hull, the boat feels calm on the water and remains course-stable, even when the waterway gets busier. Steering is via a wheel from an inside helm station, which makes her extra comfortable in changeable weather or on cool evenings. In addition, with a single rudder she is straightforward and responsive to manoeuvre, which is convenient in marinas and at locks.



How is she equipped for cruising and navigation?
On board you’ll find a set of instruments well suited to a motorboat for touring and recreational use. She is equipped with a depth sounder, GPS, chart plotter, compass and VHF radio, keeping navigation on inland waters and larger lakes clear and manageable. For engine monitoring there are, among other things, a tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge. This makes cruising not only comfortable but also transparent—especially on longer days when you want to keep a close eye on consumption and engine temperature.



What can you expect from the engine and performance?
The boat is fitted with a Ford Lehman 2500 inboard diesel engine from 1976, with 120 hp and six cylinders. The engine is electrically started and, according to the information provided, operational. With a 360-litre diesel tank she is suitable for longer trips without having to refuel constantly, which is ideal for holidays or multi-day outings. The stated maximum speed is around 14 kilometres per hour, fitting the character of a semi-displacement motor yacht: unhurried, stable and built to cover distance in comfort.



Is she suitable for overnight stays on board?
Yes, this Mitchell 31 MK2 offers fixed berths for two people, making her suitable for a weekend away or a compact holiday for two. Inside there is a dinette, a cooker and a refrigerator, so you can easily live on board while underway. A manual toilet is present; the toilet discharge goes directly overboard, something to consider depending on your cruising area and personal preference. The layout is practical and focused on ease of use, with sufficient space to sit sheltered and end the day in a relaxed way.



What about electricity and comfort on board?
For power supply she is equipped with shore power, a battery charger, alternator, inverter and voltmeter. There are four batteries on board with a total capacity of 640, which is convenient if you like to anchor out or spend a night in a quiet harbour. The boat operates with 12V and 24V systems. Also worth mentioning is that a Webasto heater is included, a great addition for those who want to cruise in the early and late season and keep the interior pleasantly warm.



When was she last taken out of the water?
According to the information provided, the boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026, and the antifouling treatment was also carried out in 2026. It is also stated that she has no osmosis or signs of osmosis.
