Mulder-En-Rijke Mob. Man Over Boord Sloep for sale in onbekend Belgium

Mulder & Rijke MOB (man over board)

So this is a real lifeboat from this famous yard, which unfortunately no longer exists.

These ships were built to high standards (often under the Lloyds A-1 label).

Straight stem, fine sheer, transom and attached rudder with tiller.

Original Lister SR1 engine (air-cooled / hand-started) with Shipping Inspection plate inside.

Engine has been overhauled using original parts and runs fine.
Boat is of very heavy polyester construction, all around rubber D-fendering, with bilge keels, a heavy heel under propeller and rudder, an attached rudder with tiller steering, large three-blade propeller with grease-lubricated propeller shaft, reversing gear and a diesel tank that sits higher than the engine itself.
In short, a boat that can take a beating and is always ready to start.
Stands on a Dino tilt trailer and has a heavy Van der Sneppen cover that can remain in place while driving.
Has scratches and signs of use which however mainly contribute to the tough no-nonsense character of the boat.
.

The Lister SR1 engine was recently overhauled: cylinder block honed, new oversize piston installed as well as new piston rings ("genuine Lister parts") and starts and runs like a charm.

Braked DINO road trailer, tarpaulin over entire vessel.
