Stardust is the low-hour benchmark for the Manhattan 52 platform in your set. 2020 hull, only 650 hours, twin Volvo Penta D11s at 725 hp per side, Seakeeper stabilized, captain-maintained since delivery. When we have four Manhattan 52s in the shortlist, the boat with the fewest hours is the reference that tells us what the platform looks like unused. That's the type of anchor we should be pricing off when we evaluate the higher-hour boats around her. Without Stardust in the study, we would have no clean read on where the Manhattan 52 sits on hours-to-price at the top of the class.
725 hp Volvo D11s, three-cabin two-head layout, 16 foot beam, 580 gallons of fuel. Top speed 31 knots. The Manhattan 52 hardtop with electric sunroof is the platform's answer to Miami sun on the flybridge, and the hydraulic swim platform geometry carries the jet-ski story cleanly for the four kids' use case.
Asking $1,299,000, no reduction yet, roughly four months on market. Cross-comp inside your set is My Pleasure (2020 Manhattan 52 at $1,190,000, 750 hours, one price reduction already logged). Same year, same platform, same power. The trade is $109,000 for 100 fewer hours on Stardust. On a real-estate mental model, that is a discretionary premium, not a mandatory one. Stardust is the low-hour trophy pick; My Pleasure is the disciplined pick with a price reduction already on the board. Four months without a reduction on Stardust is the signal to price into any offer we structure, because the seller is either anchored or waiting for the right buyer to walk through.
