aesthetically challenged...

Yeah, it looks like the Manatee had a baby boat..sheeesh, that's one ugly puppy.

We had a woody of some ancient vintage at our marina that someone had redone the topsides with some sort of vertical sheathing, it looked like an outhouse and seriously topheavy. Now THAT was ugly, wish I had a pic.

The Manatee is gorgeous in comparison with that butt ugly American Cutter.
 
That is easily the second uglist boat I have ever seen. The picture from the side on the for-sale site looks even uglier.
 
Wow! The Krogen Manatee is one sexy looking boat compared to that thing. I like the unusual but I'll pass on that one. The Manatee is one unbelievably roomy boat at the expense of of what is normally considered good looks. Went onboard a Manatee at the Miami show many years ago. 2 1/2' draft, 100hp diesel, domestic fridge etc. What more could a cruising couple need?
 
I TOTALLY love that boat!! Where can I get one??!! :D
 
Looks like boat 1 concrete dock 0 to me. Tough little boat.
 
see what i mean about windows next to the rub rail? :-)
 
I'm sure it will make a fine project boat for someone. But not me.
 
There was one of those around Grand Haven 25 years ago. They weren't so ugly back then.
 
A friend of mine remembers these boats and said that some folks also put them on trailers and lived out of them on the road as one would an RV. He said they were very roomy for their size. Talk about versatility, once could motor around the country as one does on an RV and do some on water cruising when the notion struck.
