Dinghy with almost new Honda 15 HP twin cylinder 4 stroke
I am upgrading and selling my dinghy which I have used for almost 3 years. It is a deep V Fyran 3.66m (12 feet) circa 1990's dinghy with welded floor and riveted seats. I put on a brand new Honda outboard in early 2017. It is a twin cylinder Honda 15HP four-stroke engine with about 30 hours. It has an electric start (no pulling starter cords). I have also wired in the navigation lights, with a switch at the front.
As I travel to both the Whangarei and Kaipara harbours (on the advice of my mechanic) I strengthened the transom with a reinforcing bar as the weight of the outboard on our rough roads puts strain on the transom. This setup has been incredibly reliable and I have never had any trouble with the equipment.
I am listing it for the price of a new outboard - it owes me over $7,500.
