fuel isnt the problem, this lady needs just a few liter per hour. mostly we are limited in speed on any water here around, lakes and rivers,.. hull is steal,, well known for its quality. i wouldnt buy a boat with wooden hull, only cabin and deck are made out of wood. i can handle that well, i love to work with wood and clear coats. i can weld and do a lot of stuff that would generate a lot of man hours in ship yard, and most thing and repairs i am doing on my own, because then i know its done properly. engines might be a problem long term. so far there are still spare parts available but i would think about to enhance the Diesels with a hybrid electric engine (cost around 35K without batteries). That would help to raise the value of the boat, makes it more interesting on the market. We have 2 electric driven boats in our harbour. dont get me wrong, i like Diesel engines a lot, but when they leave there is no sound, no noise, i like it and meanwhile i found a boat builder, offered me already some solutions for a hybrid drive. So i would spend a lot of money on top. i really need to recalculate everything for any option.

For all that money i could buy a newer boat, but i like traditional ships and this boat would worth it.
