Hi, if you will have no use that old tacho, and it is in working order, i will be very interested in buying it. My one gone belly up and it is exactly same design so your one will fit perfectly.

Yes i know the procedure in NZ, there will be 5% duty and 15% GST from the whole amount to be paid. So basically another 20% to the cost. As much as i like Elandra and the price tag is now much more attractive i am not sure my first ever boat should be 46’. I am trying to get on board with...

Hi Again, your former boat Elandra just been discounted by $50k , now it is under $200k , sound like a great price now, what do you think?

Thats great “how to”, thanks heaps. Will request quotes from the companies you recommend and lets see.

Hi, thank for the comments, yes there is a clipper 43 on trademe and it is twin screw from 2005. Looks quite nice, I might see it after the lockdown just to get the feel. If I compare it to Beneteau ST42 which is basically same money, I like that the dinghy is stored on the roof on Beneteau, not...

Yes Elandra looks stunning, it is on my list but also the other Chung Hwa which is 42 named Lady J. Elandra is bigger for the same money, just not sure if i need 46. Since you were the owner how does it compare to Grand Banks Europa from the late 80s? Thanks

Hi, nice to hear from a kiwi abroad. Yes you are right, hauraki is brilliant for daytrips, my brother have a fishing boat and my friend has a sailing boat, been on both thats why i know i dont want neither. Fishing boat tiny, uncomfortable and only daytrip, sailing way to slow. You are right...

No there us a sedan 42 in Tauranga for $365k this one is cheaper, it is in Auckland for $296k 42 classic model but look very tired, Here is the link for the 42 riviera gb https://www.ownaship.co.nz/boats/1991-grand-banks-42-morning-light/

Hi There are many boats on trademe, bur when you spending around $300 i have to like it too, and oh boy i dont like what i see there. The boats are mostly wooden, ugly design, they might be suitable for nz waters but all those pelins, warwicks etc are not my style at all. If i decide on newer i...

Yes i am leaning towards 42 , i liked the europa at first but it seems 42 classic or even 46 classic are better priced and i dig the design now too. What is that little sail boom at the back for? The other thing is , i like the aft cabin, would prefer 3 rooms but it is unlikely on 42. Having...

Thats true but instead of buying I can rent 14m berth for around $650-$700 per month

Hi, the issue here is that marina berth are behind locked gates so you cannot really just walk and talk to the owners as you will not even get close to their boats. So it is a bit harder to have a chat wit a real boat owner

That is great thread, I had a quote from Florida to NZ with Sevenseas for $42000, i thought it is quite expensive, also thats $42000 US, it is $67000 NZ plus i will be paying duty 5% and 15% (GST)VAT tax on the whole thing once the boat arrive. So yes it is getting very expensive. I will try to...

I am now 17 years in NZ. yes Gulf Harbour marina is the place where i would love to have it. Thanks for the advice.

Hi everyone from New Zealand. During this lockdown I have time to do a proper research on what trawler to buy in October or November for next season. I am big fan of Grand Banks expecially EU version but they are not available at all in my part of the world. I am searching also in Australia...
