@Vivaldi Hi Mate, is size 2 so chest measurement of 74 - 124 cm.

PRICE REDUCED - $350

New Spinlock Deck Vest. Was purchased for a Tasman crossing a few years ago but never used. (Surplus to requirements) Size 2 with full leg harness and tether. Looking for $350 for it. I think that’s a fair price? They are $599 in store. Will courier anywhere in NZ free of charge.

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of Ali Boat Builders in NZ?

Have been using them for years for fishing gear and other assorted marine equipment and parts. As mentioned above, pays to price check, but I have found more often than not they are well priced, have great customer service and have on occasion price matched / beaten. Year or so ago I had a rod break just above the handle about 9 months after purchase, no questions asked, replacement sent day it happened, received next day with a tube to return broken rod.... Can't fault that.

I have inherited a 4m Aakron inflatable that has a slow leak from a poor patch job on a puncher. The original puncher I am told was a snapper spike, however I have a feeling it’s more likely a fishing gaff puncher. The patch is average as per attached pics. Questions; - Best way to remove current patch? - Is this the best thing to do prior to re repairing? - Any other advice? Inflatable is usable as is but I’m not keen to tempt fate. Will be used for inshore fishing etc.
