Dinghy with almost new Honda 15 HP twin cylinder 4 stroke
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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
