Speedboat 450 Sport ready for a new adventure
This 1974 Speedboat 450 Sport is one of those classic sports boats that instantly evokes a sense of freedom. She is compact, lightweight and built for fun on inland waters, lakes and rivers. The boat is 4.50 metres long and 1.30 metres wide, with a draft of around 40 centimetres and an air draft of approximately 1 metre. This makes her suitable for many cruising areas, including places where bridges and shallow sections matter. Thanks to her V-bottom, she is designed as a sporty performer on the water, with external wheel steering and a self-draining cockpit for extra ease of use.


The current owner describes her as a fun hobby boat looking for a new owner with more time. She was taken out of the water in running condition, but has since been standing on the trailer for years. That means you are not buying her as a ready-to-go speedboat, but as a project boat with potential. For someone who enjoys tinkering, wants to learn to work with polyester and wood, or is looking for an affordable base for a sporty outboard boat, this 450 Sport can be an attractive opportunity within a boat auction.

What kind of boat is the Speedboat 450 Sport?
The Speedboat 450 Sport is a compact GRP speedboat with a sporty hull and a practical layout for day trips. She is intended for leisure boating and a day of fun on the water, and according to the owner she is manoeuvrable and fast. With her modest dimensions, the boat is easy to handle, also for someone looking for a first speedboat to gain experience with boating, docking and trailering. An interior headroom of around 1.70 metres is stated, which in this class mainly means she can feel surprisingly spacious for her length.



What is the condition of the boat and what work is needed?
According to the information provided, the boat is in poor condition and requires maintenance before she can go back in the water. The main known point of attention is the wood at the transom, which needs replacing. In addition, she has not been used for about seven years and has not been maintained since 2019. The last antifouling treatment was in 2018. All of this indicates that a new owner should expect a technical and cosmetic refresh, including checking the hull, through-hull fittings, electrics and general finish. A positive point is that no osmosis or signs of osmosis have been reported, which for a GRP boat from this period can be a reassuring basis for further plans.



What about the engine and performance?
She is equipped with a 110 hp Mercury outboard engine, a six-cylinder petrol engine with electric start. The engine was reportedly stored in working condition, but will benefit from servicing because the boat has been standing still for a long time. With a 50-litre tank and instruments such as a fuel gauge, voltmeter and log or speedometer, the basic equipment is present to make her ready to cruise again. The stated cruising speed and top speed are around 60 kilometres per hour, which fits the sporty character of this type of speedboat. Anyone looking for a fast outboard boat for inland waters will find a hull-and-engine combination that is fundamentally intended for that purpose—provided you take on the required work.



Is a trailer included and is trailering easy?
Yes, a Riba launching trailer is included without registration. This trailer is braked, tilting and single-axle, with three rollers and a trailer winch. Payload is 750 kg and the weight is approximately 500 kg. The trailer is described as being in good condition and makes it possible to transport the boat easily, store her at home or take her to a yard for work. For many buyers, this combination of speedboat with trailer is particularly appealing, because you are not dependent on a permanent berth and can use her flexibly in different cruising areas.



What equipment is on board?
On board you will find, among other things, an electric bilge pump, an anchor with line, exterior cushions and a swim ladder. The cockpit is self-draining, which is convenient in rain or spray. These are not luxury extras, but practical items that suit a day-trip sports boat. Documentation is available in the form of a registration certificate, and the boat has an RDW registration with registration number 5802YT.



This Speedboat 450 Sport is therefore mainly interesting for the buyer who is deliberately looking for a project speedboat with a Mercury outboard engine, a trailer included, and an honest starting point: first restore, then enjoy. The owner shares that she provided four summers of great memories with friends and loved ones, and now wishes her a next phase with someone who will bring her back onto the water. Through BoatAuction she gets that chance—and perhaps she will soon become your holiday at home.
