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 NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
