Update the boat has been stolen - Boat possible stolen from a pile mooring at Weiti Boating Club - The boat in the photo below was removed from a pile mooring today Friday 10 Jan at 4.30am, the club members who own this boat are away overseas and we can’t get hold of them. The erratic behaviour of the people removing the boat is suspicious plus they were using/towing a black aluminium dinghy about 3 - 3.5m long with black outboard with an extension arm. A car with a throaty exhaust was also heard leaving the club around this time.

The boat is called Wairaka, it is an 8m Own Wolley launch, if you see this boat please call the Police ASAP on 111 and then Katie at Weiti Boating Club on 021 1175 176.

Sounds like they gave it a big drink of petrol and the engine went into runaway?

Just makes you shake your head. I wonder what the plan was? Pretty distinctive boat.

Similar MO as a previous boat theft a while back....similar result. You couldn't write this stuff, maybe Monty Python.
