Overview

MANATEE is arguably the finest Grand Banks 36 Classic available today.  Purchased 4 years ago by her current and 5th owner from a Grand Banks aficionado.  She was the 4th owners Florida boat, the "little sister" to his Grand Banks 49, a true showpiece known throughout the Great Lakes boating community and cruised there during the summer months.  Two of her previous owners were pilots, one for 8 years who applied the same standards to MANATEE's machinery and systems as he did to his aircraft.  All this attracted the current owner to her.

Introduction

MANATEE is arguably the finest Grand Banks 36 Classic available today.  Purchased 4 years ago by her current and 5th owners from a Grand Banks aficionado.  She was the 4th owners Florida boat, the "little sister" to his Grand Banks 49, a true showpiece known throughout the Great Lakes boating community and cruised there during the summer months.  Two of her previous owners were pilots, one for 8 years who applied the same standards to MANATEE's machinery and systems as he did to his aircraft.  All this attracted the current owners to MANATEE.

While in top condition when he bought her, MANATEE's 4th owner immediately began the process of making her a showpiece to mirror his 49 GB's condition.  All exterior varnish was stripped and built back up to a smooth finish and the legendary Grand Banks gel coat shines like new.  The mast and boom were repainted, a new large swim platform was installed and a brand new tender with Yamaha 4-stroke outboard was added.

The interior soft goods were all replaced including new mattresses in the master stateroom and newly designed cushions on the salon settees that are a comfort to sit on, a vast improvement over the original from Grand Banks.  There is a new flat panel TV on an articulating bracket in the salon as well as electronics including Garmin GPS Chart Plotters and radar at both helms.  The flybridge cushions were replaced and all the canvas including the spray curtains and the Bimini with 3-sided enclosure were renewed.  No expense was spared.

And to top it off, the fuel tanks were replaced with new aluminum tanks without compromising the hull.  The owner then took the opportunity while the tanks were out to have the engine room totally cleaned and refinished so it is gleaming white everywhere and any replacement or upgrading necessary was done INCLUDING replacing the original, noisy generator with a NEW NORTHERN LIGHTS 6 kW gen-set in a hard sound enclosure.

All the work was done by one of the best boat yards in Florida, Snead Island Boat Works, whose owner, Gary Alderman, personally supervised the work along with  his yard manager, Steve.  This is significant because Gary himself owned a 1990 Grand Banks 36 Classic which, as you can imagine, was kept in better than new condition in a covered slip and serviced daily.  In what became a friendly competition of one-upmanship, MANATEE was brought to that level by her 4th owner and the boat yard.  The current owners have continued this tradition updating and replacing systems as needed.  The most recent upgrade was having the teak decks removed and replaced in 2015 with contrasting light grey fiberglass non-skid.  That coupled with her factory stainless steel rails make her a highly desirable low maintenance Grand Banks.  

There is much more that has been done to MANATEE  which will be noted in the full specs and view-able in the accompanying pictures.  She offers the opportunity to own a classic with all the comforts and  amenities of much newer more modern yachts, without having to spend the time going through the refit process.  She also represents a HUGE VALUE since her asking price is in line with other Grand Banks 36's not offering all these upgrades and is substantially less that the money spent (in excess of $215,000) on her purchase and upgrades.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of yachting history!

Detailed Walkthrough

MANATEE is a classic 36 Grand Banks with guest stateroom and head forward and master stateroom, with ensuite head aft.  The main salon includes a lower helm station, port side galley, and starboard L-settee.  Her exterior trim provides the traditional look associated with Grand Banks, which is the barometer by which all other pleasure trawlers are judged.

Main Salon

The main salon is rich with solid teak cabinetry and trim as well as a parquet cabin sole.  The lower helm station is forward to starboard and houses a complete compliment of engine instrumentation and navigational electronics.  A side exit door separates the lower helm from the dry bar and L-settee.  A removable 3-leaf dining table is mounted in front of the settee.  To port, the full galley runs fore and aft and is separated from a single seat settee by the second side entry door.  Valances are teak and window treatments and upholstery and all soft goods were replaced in spring 2010.  The entertainment center includes a color TV with a Shakespeare directional antenna as well as an AM/FM/CD player.

Galley

The port side galley has full-length windows that provide an abundance of light and an unobstructed view, under counter drawers and lockers over country pantry.

Features include:
New Force 10 3-burner stove and oven (2010)
Grunert holding plate refrigeration
Custom slide-out cutting board
Separate holding plate freezer under port settee
Covered double sink
Exhaust blower vented overboard
Hide-a-way garbage bin with teak front
Custom overhead drop-down dish lockers
All dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, and pots and pans currently aboard

Master Stateroom

The master stateroom is aft and features a double berth to starboard, twin berth to port, and aft facing vanity.  Additionally, there is an aft exit to the rear deck, copious storage and an ensuite head with separate shower.  Bulkheads are off-white, cabinetry and trim solid teak, and sole teak parquet.  All soft goods including mattresses were new spring 2010.  A light was added in the hanging locker by the current owners.

Heads

The master head has a cultured marble vanity top, stall shower, and new Vacuflush head system in 2010, with 30-gallon holding tank and "Y" valve for dockside or overboard discharge.  The electric guest head empties into the same holding tank.  The holding tank is equipped with a TANK TENDER.  This is a "wet" head with hand-held shower.  NOTE:  Macerator pump recently replaced.

Guest Stateroom

The forward guest stateroom features the classic V-berth and a "wet" head.  Upper bulkheads are off-white but teak ceiling boards line the outboard sides and ends of the berth.  Cabin sole is teak parquet.  Storage, ventilation, and lighting are above average.  Again, all soft goods were new in 2010.  A light was added to the hanging locker by the current owners.

Deck Details

MANATEE had the traditional teak decks removed in 2015 and replaced with FRP non-skid.  Teak trim, rails, and transom are bright and well maintained.  All window areas are protected by covers.  Bronze and stainless steel deck hardware are polished regularly.

Spacious side decks and high bulwarks make going forward or aft safe, efficient, and comfortable.  A gate in the stern rail provides access to the new over-sized teak swim platform and stainless steel ladder.  There are also port and starboard boarding gates.  The teak anchor pulpit has twin roller systems and is serviced by a Lofrans windlass with rope and chain capstans accommodating dual anchors.

The aft deck-house is home to the new hard bottom inflatable outboard, which is stored on a custom dinghy rack that incorporates storage for boat hooks and fenders as well.  The spars for the steadying sail serve as an efficient launching mechanism for the dinghy and are hinged to provide reduced vertical clearances should your cruising itinerary take you off the beaten path.

The flybridge has a non-skid sole finished with Awlgrip "Moondust" and will accommodate upwards to ten guests on a series of bench seats.  The bimini top and enclosure was new in 2010 and provides 7' of headroom.  The open panels were all just replaced 2015.  The duplicate engine instrumentation and electronics are protected by a helm cover that additionally protects some of the seating.

Broker Remarks

This is arguably the finest 36' Grand Banks available on today's market.  Her bottom has been barrier coated.  Her bright work is impeccably maintained and her teak decks just converted to FRP non-skid in a non-glare light gray.  Previously for eight years she was owned by a pilot who applied the same standards to the machinery aboard MANATEE as he did to his aircraft.  Her last owner spent over $75,000 on upgrades and refinishing to bring her to a level usually found only on million dollar yachts and her current owners have continued to maintain her that way.  MANATEE is a traditional, classic yacht with the comforts and equipment of today.
