Psyche 726 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Seems to be a pretty common way to get rid of a boat, park it leave the keys in the ignition and walk away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,688 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'd be curious to see photos of some of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 384 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Remind me again where in northcote you can moor a boat ? I grew up on the north shore but don’t recall northcote having anything other than a creek or two 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 440 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Apparently the owner (not sure if it is the guy recently incarcerated) is hiring someone to drive her to Fiji or the tropics ..... She is not abandoned a number of people live on her constantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrytom 678 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The worst part is the H/M will stick some on T/M get viewed as a cheap do up and nothing achieved,left to deteriate futher,meanwhile the AK ratepayers pay for the others disposal. How many have deceased owners and family said"bugger it,some else can have the problem" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 391 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Looks like a good start Think they should be offered as is where is, but one month to move onto the hard or the barge with the big jaws comes along Biggest issue will be they will just end up as someone else’s failed dream 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 726 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Disposing of boats at the end of life is quite a problem, it's pretty toxic to the environment i.e expensive. What can you recover? Some lead, assorted scrap metal and a bunch of worn out gear? There may be some money to be made but I'll take a guess that taxpayers will bear the bulk of the cost. Boats are big objects and unlike cars they dont have an easy disposal route. Most people including me don't have a plan other than to sell and let it become someone else's dream/problem. Most of the boats on the list are probably not even saleable. Some could be worth rescuing, but why would you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 440 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Wish I could find the picture I took of a whole Townson 28 (sans keel) trying to be dropped off at the North Shore green waste sight a year or two back was quite something. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 hmmm "no boat ownership registration in New Zealand" more hmmmm "Some owners also "shirk their responsibilities" by claiming boats no longer belonged to them when called by AT." I couple of test cases would fix that on the balance of probabilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianp 124 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Remember the Harbour Master put all Mooring Licence fees up $50 a year to specifically fund the removal of abandon boats, so it good to see them taking action. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
