Manatee 16

Up for sale is my 1972 Manatee 16' Bowrider boat. Unlike many of the older boats you see come across classifieds board, this one is in beautiful condition. The boat shows lots of pride in ownership! Was owned by an old couple in North Carolina until recently and was always garage kept. The hull is in very nice condition with no major damages.

The trailer is a 1970 and is made for the boat. It is also in very nice condition. It has recent tires and new bearings. No rust issues! I would trust it anywhere! (drove 5 hours home) The BEST part, in my opinion, is the motor ! The motor is a 1993 Mercury 75 HP 2 stroke. No hour meter, but previous owner assured me the motor has less than 50 HOURS of use!!! When you open the hood on the motor, it looks like new. NO CORROSION . The outside is about as clean too. Tilt and trim work super and the throttle works as it should. Motor starts right up and runs as it should. Motor Receipt and all paperwork included. Negatives : Gas gauge, fishfinder, and tach stopped working. (fuses?) Please keep in mind, this boat is in incredible shape for a 1972, but its still an older boat so it wont be "perfect" . Please blow pictures up to see how nice though! SHIPPING : I can help arrange shipping , no worries. Boat to be paid in full, of course, before it leaves. I do have a Garmin EchoMap GPS / Fishfinder thats 6 months old that I will throw in for an additional $400 if wanted. (Have box and $650 receipt)

Thanks for looking at my ad and God Bless ! Please email any questions and if you are close, contact me to come see the boat. Trailer sold with clean N. Carolina title and boat / motor sold with bills of sale. Can do notary if necessary. Black Trim just repainted today. Looks super.
