A decent Manatee data base is still kept, and the great majority of Manatee builds are still accounted for. Five have sunk in storms that I know of and three of those have been salvaged and are back on the water. One burned in a marina fire, and recently, two others were lost to hurricanes. The ones in Taiwan and Hong Kong have changed owners in the last few years so we think they are OK too. Owners continue to refit them when needed. I think the number of hulls remaining is still over 90.
