Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Manitou 21 Aurora LERF is presented as an entry-level pontoon boat, yet it defies that classification with numerous upscale features and thoughtful design enhancements. This model year introduces a comprehensive reimagining of the boat’s components, from seating to technology, offering a blend of comfort, style, and performance that elevates it beyond typical entry-level expectations.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The exterior of the 21 Aurora LERF features a well-appointed deck layout with three 23-inch wide boarding gates and fencing that rises 26 inches from the deck, providing safety and accessibility. Optional silver Luna-woven flooring adds a refined touch to the deck surface. At the stern, dual 35-inch deep swim platforms flank the boat, complemented by a four-step reboarding ladder with high grab handles for ease of access. The boat is equipped with six-inch cleats positioned at the corners and a robust, through-bolted ski tow bar centrally located at the stern, designed for tubing and other tow sports without the usual restrictions. The collapsible Vimini top offers protection from the elements, enhancing the versatility of the outdoor space.
Seating and Comfort Features
Seating aboard the Aurora LERF has been significantly upgraded with all-new upholstery, foam, and design. The pontoon now features two-tone seating with custom embroidery and varied materials, replacing the previous single-tone approach. The starboard side includes a forward-facing admiral seat that swivels, reclines, and incorporates flip armrests and a padded bolster with an integrated beverage holder. Opposing seating on the port side, along with two rear-facing seats aft, provide ample space and comfort. The rear-facing seats measure 44 inches and 39 inches apart, allowing room for a pedestal table. Beverage holders have increased substantially from two to twelve, including those integrated into the table. Storage is abundant, located beneath seats, within seat backs, and alongside the main battery compartment, which features a battery switch—an uncommon inclusion for an entry-level pontoon.
Helm and Technology
The helm station is equipped with features that belie the boat’s entry-level label. A seven-inch Garmin multifunction display provides charts, sonar, and engine data, enhancing navigation and operational awareness. The helm includes dual-sided switching, draining cubbies, a Fusion stereo system, USB charging ports, and a Guzzi Italiana steering wheel mounted on a tilt base. Controls such as ignition with a kill switch and throttle are ergonomically placed, with a recessed footrest area adding to captain comfort. The admiral’s seat mirrors the captain’s seat in comfort and adjustability, reinforcing the boat’s focus on user experience.
Power and Performance
The Manitou 21 Aurora LERF is powered by a 115-horsepower Mercury Pro XS Command Thrust outboard engine, though a 90-horsepower option is available. The engine is mounted on a sealed pod with an integrated bilge pump and features SeaStar hydraulic steering. The hull design incorporates a larger center tube mounted five and a quarter inches lower than the outer 23-inch diameter tubes, creating the patented V-Tune hull shape. This design enables the boat to lean into turns, slice through rough water, and plane quickly with minimal bow rise while reducing drag through center tube lifting strakes. The boat measures 22 feet 4 inches in length overall, with an 8-foot 6-inch beam and an 18-inch draft. During testing with a load of 3,485 pounds, the boat reached a top speed of 29.1 miles per hour at 6,100 RPM and achieved a best cruise speed of 11.4 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM with a fuel burn of 2.3 gallons per hour, translating to approximately 5 miles per gallon and a range of 192 miles with a 10 percent fuel reserve. Acceleration to 20 miles per hour occurred in 5.1 seconds, demonstrating respectable performance for a comfort-oriented pontoon.
Summary and Assessment
The Manitou 21 Aurora LERF challenges the notion of an entry-level pontoon by delivering a high level of comfort, thoughtful design, and solid performance. Its upgraded seating, advanced helm technology, and innovative hull design contribute to a smooth, enjoyable ride that prioritizes comfort over speed without sacrificing capability. The inclusion of features such as multiple beverage holders, extensive storage, a ski tow bar suitable for tubing, and a battery switch further distinguish this model. With limited color options and a single comprehensive options package, Manitou simplifies the purchasing process while offering a boat that feels decidedly upscale. Overall, the 21 Aurora LERF is a well-rounded pontoon that provides a premium experience in a segment typically defined by simplicity.
