Manta didn’t make very many power cats, so when one comes on the market it’s time to snatch it up. She’s a great coastal cruiser and extremely capable Gulfstream crosser. The current sellers of Blues Cruise are the second owners, and because they had a congenial relationship with the previous (original) owners, they have all sorts of manuals and maintenance information that rarely comes with a boat.
Manta didn’t make very many power cats, so when one comes on the market it’s time to snatch it up. She’s a great coastal cruiser and extremely capable Gulfstream crosser. The current sellers of Blues Cruise are the second owners, and because they had a congenial relationship with the previous (original) owners, they have all sorts of manuals and maintenance information that rarely comes with a boat. You can tell as soon as you step aboard that both of her owners have been fastidious about maintaining her, and she has never been chartered. With her 3 ft draft and bridge clearance able to get as low as 15’ by folding down the VHF & AIS antennas and anchor light she can reach many waters others can’t. Her hull design is extremely efficient with less drag, so she can produce higher speeds with less horsepower than a mono-hull. And with a low center of gravity and wide beam, she’s extremely stable underway.
