John B 109 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Well, at the risk of beating the kiwi built drum, there were some good old kiwi boats and designs well represented through Tonga and Fiji on our winter cruise. Mostly our buddies but a couple of Alan Smiths P38's, Navire for one and Tumua after the chainplate. Manutaki a Beale of about 40ft, ex matabele. Riada, Davidson. Taranui, Whiting. Mahia,Alan Wright.Toronui, Bruce Clark. Domino 2 at musket..Lidgard I think from memory. All 70s through late 80s boats ,perhaps early 90s,mostly wood or wood composite or early Glass ....taking the beatings on passage as well as being great cruising platforms around the islands. Life in the old girls yet. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcp 34 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi MCP, I know its been on sale for a while but no other info. as the others have said, second hand boats are getting cheap.... does anyone know any inside info about the Miura 31that is for sale at tauranga? Any details, history, gossip would be good. Good little boat price seems ok , many been off shore Two been round the block made in south nebe SA in the 70s , several mods by year of manufacture with cabin changes , the. Shibora could be a worry ,but go check it out , The boat was stripped out and refitted about 7 or 8 years ago by Ian Wilson from Tauranga, as it was really run down. I'm not sure about its final state. It was then sold and used mainly for fishing out the entrance as far I could gather and was berthed at the marina at Sulphur Point. It was then moved to a mooring in Pilot Bay and I haven't seen it out much, it may have been bought with the berth and then stored on the mooring just to get the berth which are hard or near impossible to buy, normally. Good luck. It is an orphan , here and may be hard the get back the investment , I would offer less , the motor is suspect these days so prepare to up grade or mother it , I brought a boat of the 80s and installed a new beta and it changed the boat , and less worries , but check the hull most of all , get a hull survey if worried , but sometimes a boat comes along totally not what you were looking for and it won't go away so that maby the one , it happened to me and I went all out to make it up to date with all mod cons and good paint , and after 18 years of crusing with it I can't look back at the cost just forward to the rest of it , we are only caretakers of these things for the next caretaker I think it just got cheaper...https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1454625536.htm What questions should I ask when I call...and can I have some wisdom from anyone about how they were built...likely issues, etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcp 34 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 So... Ummm... I now own my first yacht I now have to figure out how to get it from tauranga to whangarei where I have a mooring reserved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 244 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Might not be a good idea to have a get to know your boat sail up the coast with the present weather forecast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 530 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Anyone boat shopping, selling? I know most of my dreaming takes place around Xmas, either because I don’t have a boat or I’m anchored somewhere surrounded by candy and a bunch of old trade-a-boat mags. What’s happening out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,717 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Definitely not selling. But still like to daydream . If we were to change it would be a smaller boat, able to dry out on its own bottom and with a fully boomed rig and totally self sufficient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarkMT 68 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 What’s happening out there? Well, one recent data point for you... SR26 Motorboat changed hands this week for $11,500 in cruising trim + another $7k for a set of race sails. Last listed by previous owner 9 months ago for over $30k (32 if memory serves). The vendor this time around had bought another boat and so listed with a $1 reserve, so it was probably always going to be a bargain. Still, there were 205 watchers on TM. I'm seeing a lot of boats on the market that just aren't moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm seeing a lot of boats on the market that just aren't moving.. Yes sometimes attitudes need to change for the vendor before a boat will sell, I looked at a boat that needed major work listed at 120, I liked its potential and had just sold my boat and so offered 70, it was refused, 2 years or more later with the boat in worse condition and the vendor getting realistic I bought it for 40 odd. Owning 2 boats at once is not good if you only want one. This run of nice weather makes boats seem a good idea, even the wife wants to go sailing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 530 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Sellers need to be realistic. I turned down an offer of $90000 for Sundreamer days after I listed it. Paid a years marina fees and then sold her for $70000. But if you own 2 boats (I did) or have a project under way (I have that too) the price you sell for is less important than the cost of keeping. End of the day, you’ll feel a lot better once the burden is gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 755 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 As we approach 2026, there are going to be a LOT of boats on the market in AK as the the main tranche of leases expire in Westhaven, owners who have had their boats their since the beginning are all swallowing the anchor for various reasons; too old, too expensive, no family interest in keeping a boat etc. All those boats that look like they are worth a few months rental- they are all going to go but where?
