Verdict
A practical, older 1978 extended custom build with modest power and basic known amenities. It should appeal to buyers prioritizing simple cruising over modern comfort or turnkey luxury, but sparse documentation limits certainty on layout and livability.
Pros
- +1978 build gives it a proven, established hull era
- +87 PS engine is suitable for calm-water cruising
- +Autopilot, GPS, air conditioning and WiFi add useful basics
Cons
- −No verified cabin, bathroom or crew layout details
- −Fuel capacity is modest at 100 liters
- −Custom build history makes specification consistency harder to assess
The Ernst-Riss verlängerter Eigenbau is a 1978 extended custom yacht with a straightforward, functional profile rather than a modern production-yacht layout. The confirmed 13.40 m length and 87 PS engine point to a boat designed for practical cruising, with the extended custom construction likely offering a more individual interior and deck arrangement than standard models.
On the water, the limited verified data suggests a boat best suited to measured pace and local or regional trips rather than high-speed running. The modest engine output and 100-liter fuel capacity support that impression. The presence of autopilot and GPS is helpful for relaxed navigation, but handling expectations should remain conservative given the age and lack of detailed performance figures.
Comfort appears basic and difficult to judge precisely because cabin and bathroom data are not documented. Air conditioning and WiFi are positive for a vessel of this era, yet the absence of verified accommodation details means livability should be inspected in person before booking or purchase. Overall value depends heavily on condition, refit history and whether the custom layout matches the intended use.
