Description of stolen boat
1980 runabout. The colour of the boat is very similar karaka green on the outside, quite faded and scratched with the original orange colour showing through. The inside is cream. The rub plate on the keel of the boat is worn through on the front. The boat is quite distinctive as it has had an aluminium sheet placed over the the top of the front with a beading screwed (roughly) on the edge of the wooden 'dash', under that is a hole on the right hand side where there had been a steering wheel fitted. There are four pulleys still in place on each corner inside the boat where cables used to run from the steering wheel to the motor.
