Inside, the headroom stands out: at around 2.40 metres there is remarkably generous space, making time on board comfortable, even for longer stays. The number of fixed berths is stated as six, plus two additional berths. That makes her attractive for families, couples who like to bring guests, or boaters who simply appreciate space. The accommodation includes, among other things, a refrigerator and a cooker, and with a water tank of approx. 500 litres you can comfortably remain independent for a while.

How does this Kilkruiser Target handle on inland waters?She is equipped with an inboard diesel engine: a Peugeot Indenor XDP 4.90 with 60 hp and four cylinders. The engine is electrically started and is stated to be operational, with approx. 1,300 running hours. For those searching for a “steel motorboat with diesel” or a “Kilkruiser Target for sale”, this is a combination that is often popular: solid, straightforward, and fitting the character of a classic cruiser. Cruising speed is around 15 km/h and top speed around 25 km/h, making her suitable for relaxed cruising as well as moving along briskly when conditions allow. At the helm you have the key instruments within reach, such as tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge.

Is she suitable for a weekend away or longer stays?Yes—her equipment and layout make her clearly interesting for multi-day trips. The hot-air heating helps keep things comfortable in cooler seasons. With 12V and 220V on board, a battery charger, inverter, voltmeter, and a solar panel, there is a solid basis for comfortable stays. There is one battery on board with a total capacity of approx. 100 Ah. The diesel bow thruster is a great extra for those who often manoeuvre in tight harbours or narrow stretches, especially in wind or current. A VHF radio is also present, which is convenient on busier waters and near bridges or locks.

What can you expect regarding her condition and appearance?The seller indicates she forms a good base and that there are a few cosmetic imperfections. That fits a boat of this age and also offers opportunities: if you like rolling up your sleeves, with some time and paint you can tailor her appearance to your own taste. Important to note is that she was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024, and the antifouling treatment was also done in 2024. These are relevant points for anyone looking for a “steel boat with recent antifouling” or a “motorboat that was out of the water in 2024”.

What about sanitary facilities and onboard amenities?She has a manual toilet, with the toilet discharge stated to go directly into open water. Buyers are advised to determine in advance what this means for the intended cruising area and their own use. Furthermore, there is a diesel tank of approx. 150 litres, which—combined with her cruising profile—typically provides a practical range for trips on lakes and rivers. On deck there is one anchor, attached with a line.

This Kilkruiser Target is a steel cruiser with space, a working diesel engine, and equipment that invites you to make her your own. She is particularly interesting for anyone looking via BoatAuction for a classic motorboat to cruise, to tinker with, and above all to spend plenty of time on the water.
