Ocapora V rounds out the Manhattan 52 study at the higher-hour value end. 2018 hull, 1,881 hours, twin Volvo Penta IPS 950s, three-cabin two-head layout with a Seakeeper 6 and a 2024 electronics refresh. The refresh is the piece that matters. When a boat carries hours in this range, the question is whether the systems have been kept current or left to age with the hull. This one has been kept current. That's the type of ownership signal we should be prioritizing when the hours are the first number a survey will flag, because the delta between a used-hard boat and a well-managed one comes down to what has been refreshed inside the last two years.
725 hp Volvo IPS 950s per side, 16 foot beam, 580 gallons of fuel. Top speed 31 knots. Three cabins and two heads is the Manhattan 52 layout norm, and the hydraulic swim platform on this hull carries the jet-ski loading geometry cleanly for the four kids' Bahamas use case.
Asking $995,000, reduced from $1,000,000, roughly three months on market. The reduction is nominal, so read it as a signal that the seller is willing to negotiate rather than a real price move. Cross-comp inside your set is Gaia (2017 Manhattan 52 at $995,000, 1,645 hours). The trade is one newer model year and the 2024 electronics refresh against roughly 240 more hours. The refresh is the tiebreaker. On a boat where a survey is going to focus on systems age, having the electronics already updated is worth more than the hour delta costs you, and the willingness-to-negotiate signal gives us structured-offer room the Gaia seller has not yet shown.
