A big old lump like that one would probably burn neat chip fat without problems Just found a short video of such a 6 cylinder "Jastram" engine, it looks and sounds good, but I don't think that it would be very easy to get parts for one, if you would ever need these. If all is well and if the engine is properly maintained, chances that you'll need important parts aren't very likely, but you'll never know. Peter.

Same here Kris, to me it's just like a beautiful wooden boat, I love to see them, but wouldn't want to own one. Peter.

Probably looks a bit boring with the rocker cover on.

Lovely little Opduwer for sale in NL. Does not have a price - I wonder what they fetch? Looks to have a decent shape to it according to this picture www.scheepsmakelaardijgoliath.nl/schip/5517/steilsteven-opduwerThere's a picture of the boat out of water but not possible to link it to display on here for some reason. Very handsome little boat.

Looks like a pretty little thing to play with on the Thames for you (having a lack of boats ) There's no price, but I don't think that they'll give it away. In the ad it says that client is looking for an original one of between 6 and 7 meters, so this is likely to be a new build. Peter.

After a better look at the picture, this isn't a new build, as I can see fairly big dubbel plating on the hull.
Maybe the client is looking for an original one in better original condition than this one is.
Peter.

Yes I think its a modern replica. Still nice though. Well done for managing to show the out of water picture Yes it has some plating but maybe its quite old just not an original? 1970s? I don't know much about the dates these boats were built either for work or pleasure.

I don't know much about the dates these boats were built either for work or pleasure. The original ones are old, as they were used to push the barges that were still trading under sail, when there was no wind, or through too narrow parts of the system where they couldn't sail, this of course before they started to fit engines in these barges, which were installed first on the front decks with long shafts hanging over the sides, and later giving up some hold space for a "real" engine-room. The last working Opduwer (that I've seen working) that still worked with a small working barge that didn't have sails or a mast anymore was in the very early 60's. Surely because the barge owner was just too poor to get an engine installed, or because his barge was to small to stay a commercially still interesting asset, to allow for an investment like that. The original ones were built from a bit before WW2 until the late 50's, and when there was no need for them anymore, they became pleasure boats. Because there weren't all that many left, and because people liked small working boat like boats to play with, they started buiding them again, and selling DIY Kits about 20 years ago. Peter.

I've always liked these boats, so it's really interesting to learn their history Peter thanks very much for sharing your knowledge.
