Good luck David. We hope you find one near NZ. I LOVE New Zealand. Spent a week in Nelson area a few years ago. Can't wait to return.
We LOVE our 1990 Flicka (SV Mona, hull #388). Mona's land locked

Lapping the tapered plug is actually very easy and disassembly not complicated. When you lap it, you’ll be able to determine if wear is acceptable.
