DAF DK 1160 M rated at 116kw (+/- 156hp). The age of the engine is not known but they were in production from the mid 70’s to mid 90’s and this one started a treat from cold, sounded sweet and amazingly for a DAF made very little smoke.

Broker's Comments
Residential Dutch barge for sale in southern France. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this Luxemotor barge for sale with recent survey.
Ideal dimensions for maximum space without the complications of TRIWV or ESTRIN. This vessel has been completely refitted by our very experienced vendor starting with the sprayfoam insulation and finishing with some artistic personal touches.
It’s light and bright with huge headroom and feels nice and solid on deck too with those wide well protected side decks. Throw in the lovely Luxemotor lines and a meaty DAF 1160 and this would appear to be a lot of lovely solid boat for the money.
For more information and appointments to view, please contact, Graham, your local broker with Boatshed Midi Canals.
