11Congratulations, you have found the mission boat you have been looking for! This auction is for - 1 x Naiad 5.8m inflatable boat with an aluminum hull - 2 x 90Hp Yamaha self mixing engines - dual-wheel trailer (unbraked) - solar panel (not currently on the trailer) - biscuit and rope - digital map/depth sounder - 4 or 5 life jackets This workhorse will get you anywhere in any conditions. I have owned it for a year and only been able to get it out on the water 4 times, which is why I am selling it. The previous owner used to take it from Wellington to the Marlborough Sounds regularly. When I bought it it was fully serviced at Family Boats. The engines were new for the previous owner who did not use them very much, and the mechanic estimated they have done about 45 - 50 hours. They are self mixing 90HP, with no computers in them. Again, advice from the mechanic was their value was around $10-12k each. Motors flushed after every use In the time I have owned it, I have taken it from Man-o-War bay on Waiheke, to Kennedy point twice. First time - flat day and managed to stretch the legs out to 37knots. There was still a bit more room to go even faster... Second time 1m-2m rolling swell, and it handled like a dream!! I am very sad to give it up, but I do not have capacity to use it. The boat is currently on Waiheke Island.
