2006 Heritage East 36 Sundeck Trawler"Shipshape" is not just an expression—it describes this boat.
If you have been waiting for a Heritage East that has clearly been owned by someone who believes in preventative maintenance and attention to detail, MANITOU deserves to be at the top of your list.
MANITOU reflects the same meticulous standards that defined her owner's naval career. Systems are organized, machinery spaces are immaculate, and every compartment shows thoughtful stewardship. The engine room, in particular, is among the cleanest you'll encounter aboard a Heritage East.
Top 5 Reasons to Choose MANITOU
1. Meticulously Maintained by a naval officer, engineer and lifetime boater.
MANITOU has been cared for with the discipline and attention to detail you'd expect from a career boater. Every system reflects preventative maintenance rather than deferred maintenance, and the engine room is exceptionally clean—a strong indicator of conscientious ownership throughout the vessel.
2. Legendary Cummins Reliability
Powered by the proven 220 HP Cummins 6BT5.9-M, one of the most respected marine diesels ever built, MANITOU delivers dependable performance, economical fuel consumption, and an outstanding reputation for longevity. Combined with 440 gallons of fuel, she's ready for extended cruising.
3. Exceptionally Easy to Handle
Docking is made remarkably simple thanks to both bow and stern thrusters, while wide side decks, dual helm stations, excellent visibility, and an electric windlass inspire confidence whether cruising as a couple or handling the boat solo.
4. Fully Equipped for Comfortable Cruising
MANITOU comes ready for serious adventures with features that include:
8 kW PowerTech generator
Two reverse-cycle air conditioning systems
Raymarine navigation electronics
Radar, AIS transceiver, autopilot, and VHF
Full flybridge and sundeck enclosures
2023 West Marine inflatable tender

5. Proven Great Loop & Liveaboard Platform

MANITOU represents one of the finest examples of this sought-after design, offering the perfect balance of cruising capability, livability, and manageable size.
