Dinghy with almost new Honda 15 HP twin cylinder 4 stroke

Ashley from Rural West Whangarei

I am upgrading and selling my dinghy which I have used for almost 3 years. It is a deep V Fyran 3.66m (12 feet) circa 1990's dinghy with welded floor and riveted seats. I put on a brand new Honda outboard in early 2017. It is a twin cylinder Honda 15HP four-stroke engine with about 30 hours. It has an electric start (no pulling starter cords). I have also wired in the navigation lights, with a switch at the front.
As I travel to both the Whangarei and Kaipara harbours (on the advice of my mechanic) I strengthened the transom with a reinforcing bar as the weight of the outboard on our rough roads puts strain on the transom. This setup has been incredibly reliable and I have never had any trouble with the equipment.

I am listing it for the price of a new outboard - it owes me over $7,500.

Price: $6,500

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
