Prout International Manta 1991 "Kimarah"

As one enters from the cockpit, you are greeted by the salon with a large U-shaped dinette and table, perfect for lounging or dining. The aft bulkhead is the navigation station. Steps lead port and starboard. On starboard going from stern forward one will find the first stateroom. This stateroom has an athwartships double berth, abundant storage, and lockers. Moving forward is the galley with counters and appliances on both sides. The sink is inboard and looks up into the Salon. Very open and nice to be a part of the group even in the galley. Forward of the galley is the next large stateroom with a fore and aft facing double berth inboard and lockers outboard.

As one goes down the steps on the port side you will find a large head aft with Tub/shower combo, head and vanity. Forward of the head is the Work shop with an abundant amount of storage, parts and tools. This work shop would put many boats to shame. Ahead of the work shop is a single berth/settee outboard and library inboard, also open to the salon. Forward of the library is the third Large stateroom with fore and aft facing double berth inboard and lockers outboard. Certainly three couples or a large family would be more than comfortable on this vessel. Lovely African and Honduran teak with cherry trim cabinetry coupled with the flag blue dinette cushions makes her feel warm and inviting. Updated decor in the staterooms and some paint will make her shine.

Ventilation consists of 6 opening ports, 8 opening hatches, 1 solar fan vent (aft cabin) and 2 hella fans. The floors are teak and holly in the salon and each stateroom, all others are vinyl.

The mid-ships galley consists of a 3 burner stove with oven, double sinks with built-in drain board, Front loading refrigerator and freezer, additional drop-in freezer/refrigerator, Seagull IV drinking water filtration with dedicated faucet.

This is hull #1 and was built in South Africa. The Prout is known as a stout offshore capable vessel. She is designed with a hard foredeck that allows for abundant storage and the hull has what is called a Nacel which breaks the waves and does not allow slapping on the underside of the center hull. Kimarah needs some care but the owners had done some wonderful upgrades. She is a solid vessel and with some elbow grease will make someone a wonderful cruiser.
