Remarks
Versatile 15m Research Vessel built 2002 by Qualicraft in New Zealand of strip plank timber with triaxial E-glass, which has resulted in a well proven, relatively fast, multi-purpose workboat with large aft deck, easy access to the water and accommodation facilities for six, plus skipper and crew member.

The vessel performs a wide variety of tasks including bottom sampling, estuary surveys, dredging and diving operations.

Currently in Maritime New Zealand survey from East Cape to North Cape, including the Three Kings islands, she could easily be re-purposed and would make an excellent dive charter vessel or a great syndicate boat for enjoying the great outdoors, diving and fishing coastal islands or chasing game fish out wide.

Over the past 12 months the owners have spent around $80,000 which included a new radar, new crank & house batteries, new battery charger, tidy up electrical issues, new submersible bilge pumps, new bunk in wheelhouse, replaced tender and outboard and 240V generator rebuild and servicing main engines.
