    This is Weka my 6.0m Sea Ranger - these were designed sold by a business in Havelock, she was built in 1999 and has been in the family since, I brought my family out 10 years ago and replaced the old 150 V6 Johnson 2 stroke with the Merc 150 EFI 4Stroke in 2013. New motor has been brilliant so good on gas, quiet, powerful, easy to start - really changed boating for us i.e. I have a 12' tinny above the high tide mark and an 8hp in the shed and I have not used that for at least 7 years - much easier to grab Weka even for tootling around the bay. Looking at upgrading this year to something a little bit bigger with a few bells and whistles like a hard top, anchor winch, windscreen wiper etc.

    @AMac if your happy with the boat maybe you could get someone to add the anchor winch and wind screen wiper. Hard top could be a step to far though.

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    I looked into adding an anchor Sideshow but came to the conclusion that there was just not enough room - just wasn't designed for it. Weka has served us really well for 23 years, my thinking is to upgrade now while I am still working, to something 6.7m +/- with modern design that will also last 20 odd years which my sons can eventually own just like me with Weka.
