hi all,
We have a 40-foot Pelin Coaster, semi-displacement steel hull launch, with a Cummins VT-555M.
We have had this boat for about 1.5 years and already have a couple of seasons cruising enjoyment in her.
We are based in the south-west corner of the North Island of NZ, Mana Marina, Porirua ... if you want to google it ;)
Our main area of cruising is just over the Cook Strait, in the Marlborough Sounds (north end of the South Island), about 25 NM and about 2.5 hrs at cruising speed for us. A beautiful part of the world .... but we are bias.

My main reason for joining this forum is to be able to reach out to others that have Cummins VT-555M engines to share knowledge etc.

David

Welcome aboard David. Nice sunny anchorage in your pic.
 
NZ is great Cruising grounds. I did a figure of eight around both islands, an incredible amount of great places to go and see. If you have the time fiordland is unbelievably beautiful, uncrowded and full of great anchorages, you could spend months there. Stewart Island is worth a stop as well.
