1987 Kadey Krogen 36 Manatee North Sea North Sea Beaufort SC

THE KROGEN MANATEE IS A DESIGNED BUILT TRAWER FOR COMFORT, RANGE AND STABILITY. NAVAL ARCHITECT JAMES KROGEN DESIGN OF THIS VESSEL WAS A HUGH SUCCESS WITH THE LEVEL MAIN DECK FLOOR PLAN.  THE NO SIDEDECK DESIGN AT DECK LEVEL MAKES THE INTERIOR FEEL LIKE A MUCH LARGER 42' TRAWLER.  THE FULL BEAM IS CARRIED WELL FORWARD OF THE MASTER STATEROOM.  THE SINGLE CABIN DESIGN PROVED SO POPULAR WITH LIVE ABOARD CRUISERS  THE ENCLOSED BRIDGE HAS WRAP AROUND SEATING FOR QUESTS. THESE SEATS CONVERT TO A DOUBLE BERTH AND PILOTHOUSE IS EQUIPPED WITH PRIVACY CURTAINS FOR USE AS A QUEST CABIN.  THE AFT DECK HARDTOP DOUBLES AS DINGY STORAGE OVERHEAD ON THE AFT DECK.  A DAVIT IS INCLUDED.  THE 1100 MILE RANGE AT 6-7 KNOTS MAKES THE MANATEE A CRUISERS DREAM.  IS A GREAT LOOP EXCURSION IN YOUR PLANS?  THIS ONE WAS MADE FOR IT.
THE CURRENT OWNER, WHO IS A NAVAL ARCHITECT, MUST UNFORTUNATELY PUT THE ''RIVER  COOTER'' BACK ON THE MARKET.  SINCE HE PURCHASED THIS MANATEE IN 2015, A PHYSICAL ILLNESS HAS MADE THIS DECISION AN UNWELCOME REALITY.  THERE WERE MANY, MANY UPGRADES MADE TO THIS VESSEL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME DURING HIS OWNERSHIP.  A COMPLETE LIST WILL BE AVAILABLE TO INTERESTED PARTIES.  ON BOARD AND WAITING INSTALLATION IS A SECOND 2000 GPH BILGE PUMP AND SWITCH, 5.2 GPM ANCHOR WASH DOWN PUMP, 1000 AND 2000 WATT INVERTERS, BLUE SEAS FUSE HOLDER AND FUSE FOR THE LARGE INVERTER AND A MACERATOR PUMP AND HOSE ADAPTERS FOR OFFSHORE PUMPING OF THE HOLDING TANK. A RECENT 10 DAY SHAKEDOWN CRUISE SHOWED THE ENGINE TO BE RUNNING VERY WELL.  WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE ANCHOR WASHDOWN PUMP AND THE INVERTER FOR THE REFRIGERATOR, THE VESSEL WILL BE READY TO BEGIN CRUISING.
REFERRING TO THE OLD PACKARD AUTOMOBILE AD, "ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE''.
 THERE WERE ONLY 99 OF THESE MANATEE'S BUILT FOR JAMES KROGEN'S SEASONED CRUISERS.  THERE ARE ONLY THREE OF THE 'NORTH SEA' MODELS WITH THE FULL PILOTHOUSE AND FORWARD FACING WINDOWS  IN THE U.S. THE FORWARD FACING WINDOWS ELIMINATE GLARE AT NIGHT, PROVIDE INCREASED SUN PROTECTION, PROVIDE GREATER FEELING OF SPACE AND ROOM FOR OVERHEAD ELECTRONICS.  ALMOST UNIVERSAL NOW ON COMMERCIAL BOATS BUT STILL RARE ON YACHTS.  YOU NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE!
