$49,990.00
Mercury 150 HP Four-Stroke • Manitou V-Toon® VP Performance Hull • 12-Person Capacity • 24'4" Overall • Dual Captain's Chairs • In-Floor Storage • Fusion Audio • Premium Woven Flooring • Bimini Top • Stainless Ski Tow Bar • Rear Swim Deck & Ladder
If you're looking for a modern luxury tritoon that combines premium comfort, strong four-stroke power, watersports capability, and an extremely versatile family layout, this 2021 Manitou Oasis 23 VP checks all the right boxes.
Powered by a Mercury 150 HP Four-Stroke and built around Manitou's V-Toon® VP performance platform, this isn't simply a basic pontoon designed to idle around the lake. It gives you the space and comfort people love about a pontoon while adding a performance-oriented tritoon configuration for cruising, tubing, swimming, entertaining, and full days on the water. Pasted text
And this boat is paired with the maximum factory-rated horsepower for the 23 Oasis VP platform - 150 HP. Pasted text
With seating for up to 12 people, premium lounge furniture, dual captain's chairs, huge in-floor storage, Fusion marine audio, woven flooring, a Bimini top, ski tow bar, and large rear swim area, this Manitou gives you one boat capable of handling almost everything your family wants to do on the lake.
TRAILER OPTION: Brand-New 2026 Mid America Bunk Trailer Available Separately for $4,700
The trailer is NOT included in the $49,990 boat price. For buyers who need a trailer, we have a brand-new 2026 Mid America bunk trailer available separately for an additional $4,700, giving you the option to purchase the boat alone or make it a complete boat-and-trailer package.
Mercury 150 HP Four-Stroke
At the stern is a Mercury 150 HP Four-Stroke, giving this Manitou the power package you'd want on a modern 23-foot performance tritoon.
And there's an important distinction with this particular setup:
150 HP is the factory maximum horsepower rating for the 2021 Oasis 23 VP.
You're not buying a large tritoon with an undersized engine and immediately wishing it had more power. This boat is already paired with the full horsepower rating of its VP platform. Pasted text
Mercury Power Package
✔ Mercury 150 HP Four-Stroke
✔ Full Factory-Rated Horsepower for the VP Platform
✔ Stainless-Steel Propeller
✔ Great Family-Cruising Setup
✔ Excellent Match for Recreational Watersports
✔ Easy Outboard Access for Routine Service
For buyers who don't need a 250- or 300-horsepower engine but still want a tritoon with meaningful power behind it, the Mercury 150 is an excellent match.
Manitou V-Toon® VP Performance Hull
One of the biggest reasons to consider this Manitou over a conventional pontoon is underneath the deck.
This Oasis uses Manitou's VP V-Toon configuration, with a larger-diameter center pontoon positioned between the two outer tubes. The published configuration for this model is 23"/27"/23", with the 27-inch center tube between the 23-inch outer tubes. Pasted text
That architecture is a major part of what separates the Oasis VP from a traditional two-tube pontoon.
You still get the open floorplan, passenger space, and social layout people want from a pontoon, but it's built around Manitou's performance-oriented tritoon platform.
Bigger Than the "23" Name Suggests
Don't let the model designation fool you.
Factory specifications put the 23 Oasis VP at approximately 24'4" overall, with a 23'2" deck and 8'6" beam. Pasted text
Factory Specifications
✔ Overall Length: 24'4"
✔ Deck Length: 23'2"
✔ Beam: 8'6"
✔ Approximate Dry Weight: 2,995 lbs.
✔ Maximum Horsepower: 150 HP
✔ Passenger Capacity: 12 Persons
✔ Passenger Weight Capacity: 1,895 lbs.
✔ Persons, Motor & Gear Capacity: 2,555 lbs.
So although it's called a 23 Oasis, you're getting more than 24 feet of overall boat.
Spacious 12-Person Capacity
This particular Manitou's capacity plate confirms room for up to 12 people or 1,895 pounds of passengers, with a total persons, motor, and gear rating of 2,555 pounds. Pasted text
That's legitimate family-and-friends capacity.
Bring the kids.
Bring another family.
Load up the cooler.
Bring the tubes.
Pack everything you need for the afternoon.
Instead of everyone being crowded into a small runabout, the Oasis provides several separate areas where passengers can spread out and enjoy the day.
Premium Lounge Seating
Step aboard and the interior immediately shows why Manitou positioned the Oasis as more than a basic pontoon.
The tan and brown upholstery with Manitou embroidery and red accents coordinates beautifully with the exterior, while the furniture provides the deep cushioning and high backrests expected from a modern premium pontoon. Pasted text
Up front, large curved lounges create an excellent conversation area.
Farther aft, additional seating gives passengers another place to relax without forcing everyone into the bow.
Stainless cup holders are integrated throughout the seating areas, making the interior just as useful for entertaining as it is for family cruising.
Dual Captain's Chairs
Another premium feature is the dual high-back captain-style chairs.
Instead of providing a premium helm chair for the driver and putting the passenger on a conventional bench, this Oasis gives both positions individual pedestal seating with armrests and substantial bolstering. Pasted text
It's a small detail that makes a noticeable difference on longer cruises.
It also keeps the middle of the boat feeling open rather than filling every available area with bulky bench seating.
Modern Raised Helm
The helm continues the premium theme.
Rather than a basic pontoon console, the Oasis uses a substantial molded helm with a high-back Manitou captain's chair, sport steering wheel, Mercury throttle control, windscreen, integrated electronics display, and conveniently positioned switches and controls. Pasted text
There's also enclosed storage underneath the console, giving you another place to keep smaller items out of the passenger areas.
Huge In-Floor Storage Compartment
One of the best practical advantages of the tritoon configuration is the ability to incorporate storage into the center tube.
This Manitou has a large in-floor storage compartment directly beneath the main walkway. Pasted text
That's extremely valuable on a family boat.
Great for Storing:
✔ Life Jackets
✔ Tow Ropes
✔ Water Toys
✔ Dock Lines
✔ Fenders
✔ Extra Gear
✔ Larger Boating Accessories
Instead of stacking bulky equipment on the seats or floor, you can put it below deck and preserve the clean, open interior.
Premium Woven Flooring
Rather than traditional marine carpet, this Oasis uses striped woven marine flooring throughout the passenger area and exterior deck surfaces. Pasted text
It complements the tan, brown, and red interior while giving the entire boat a much more contemporary appearance than older carpeted pontoon designs.
Combined with the sculpted furniture, stainless cup holders, modern helm, and metallic exterior panels, the entire boat presents as a modern luxury tritoon.
Fusion Marine Audio
Entertainment is handled by a Fusion MS-RA55 marine stereo system paired with speakers throughout the passenger area. Pasted text
Whether you're cruising across the lake, anchored at the sandbar, or relaxing with friends, you've already got a proper marine audio system aboard.
Audio Highlights
✔ Fusion MS-RA55
✔ Marine Speaker System
✔ Dash-Mounted Controls
✔ Great for Cruising
✔ Perfect for Sandbar Days & Entertaining
Turn on the music, put up the Bimini, and enjoy the afternoon.
Large Bimini Top
A large burgundy Bimini top coordinates with the boat's exterior and provides valuable shade over the passenger area. Pasted text
Enjoy the sun when you want it.
Put the Bimini up when everyone needs a break.
For full-day boating, it's one of those features you'll appreciate constantly.
Rear Swim Deck & Boarding Ladder
At the stern is a generous deck area that creates a practical transition between the interior and the water.
A stainless telescoping boarding ladder makes getting back aboard considerably easier after swimming. Pasted text
That makes the stern perfect for:
✔ Swimming
✔ Sandbar Days
✔ Getting In & Out of the Water
✔ Preparing for Watersports
✔ Loading Lake Gear
✔ Relaxing Near the Water
For families who spend just as much time in the water as they do cruising across it, this is an important part of the boat.
Stainless-Steel Ski Tow Bar
Surrounding the Mercury outboard is a polished stainless-steel ski tow bar, giving you a dedicated tow point for recreational watersports. Pasted text
Pair that with the 150 HP Mercury Four-Stroke and V-Toon VP platform, and this Manitou can do substantially more than simply cruise around the lake.
Pull a tube when the kids want something more exciting.
Then put everything away, turn on the Fusion stereo, and go back to cruising.
You don't need a separate runabout just to add recreational watersports to the day.
Built for Full Days on the Lake
This is where the Oasis 23 VP really makes sense.
It's not overly specialized.
Use it for:
✔ Family Cruising
✔ Tubing & Recreational Watersports
✔ Swimming
✔ Sandbar Days
✔ Entertaining Friends
✔ Exploring Larger Lakes
✔ Relaxing & Lounging
✔ Sunset & Evening Cruises
That's exactly the kind of versatility that has made modern performance pontoons and tritoons so popular. Pasted text
Excellent Entertaining Layout
The Oasis does an especially good job of creating separate social areas throughout the boat.
Passengers can stretch out across the curved bow lounges while others relax farther aft.
The individual captain's chairs add comfortable seating without obstructing the center walkway.
Integrated cup holders are positioned throughout the interior.
There's even a covered side compartment/counter area incorporated into the rear seating section, adding another useful surface and storage area when you're entertaining. Pasted text
With 8, 10, or even 12 passengers aboard, everyone doesn't have to occupy the same small area.
Premium Styling Inside & Out
The exterior carries deep metallic red panels with champagne/silver upper panels, textured rails, and Manitou badging.
Inside, the color scheme continues with tan upholstery, darker contrasting inserts, embroidered Manitou logos, stainless cup holders, sculpted furniture, and coordinated woven flooring. Pasted text
The result is a pontoon that still has the appearance and layout of a modern luxury boat.
OPTIONAL Brand-New 2026 Mid America Bunk Trailer - $4,700Trailer Sold Separately - Not Included in the $49,990 Boat Price
If you need a trailer, Sun Sport Marine has a brand-new 2026 Mid America bunk trailer available separately for $4,700.
That gives you two options:
Boat Only: $49,990
Optional 2026 Mid America Bunk Trailer: +$4,700
Boat + Trailer Package: $54,690
This is especially useful for buyers who want the freedom to keep the boat at home, travel between lakes, or handle their own seasonal storage rather than keeping the Manitou permanently at a marina.
If you already have an appropriate trailer or don't need one, you aren't forced to pay for it.
If you do need one, we've already got a brand-new 2026 bunk trailer available to pair with the boat.
Why This Manitou Stands Out
This isn't simply a conventional pontoon with a larger motor hanging off the back.
You're getting:
✔ 2021 Manitou Oasis 23 VP
✔ Mercury 150 HP Four-Stroke
✔ Full Factory-Rated 150 HP
✔ Manitou V-Toon® VP Tritoon Platform
✔ 24'4" Overall Length
✔ 23'2" Deck Length
✔ 8'6" Beam
✔ 12-Person Capacity

✔ Premium Woven Flooring
✔ Large Bimini Top
✔ Stainless Ski Tow Bar
✔ Rear Swim Deck
✔ Stainless Boarding Ladder
✔ Optional Brand-New 2026 Mid America Bunk Trailer - $4,700
It's a very complete combination of luxury, passenger space, four-stroke power, performance-oriented tritoon design, and family versatility.

Manitou 23 Oasis: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Manitou 23 Oasis is a pontoon boat that combines affordable luxury with sporty performance. Designed to accommodate up to 150 horsepower, this model features a triple tube hull configuration that enhances flotation and stability, allowing for comfortable cruising and water sports activities such as skiing.
Hull Design and Exterior Features
The 23 Oasis is equipped with Manitou's VP performance tubes, which include an oversized 27-inch center tube positioned 5¼ inches lower than the two 23-inch outer tubes. This configuration creates a pivot point that allows the boat to lean into turns, delivering handling characteristics similar to a V-hull boat. Full-length lifting strakes with 7¼ inch chines improve planing times and cornering ability, while reinforcing stiffeners at the front of each tube protect against impact in choppy waters. A full-length splash plate prevents chop from striking the structural cross members, reducing the jarring effect commonly experienced with other pontoon designs. Additional exterior features include integrated splash guards along the tube tops, four 6-inch cleats mounted with through bolts, high-mounted deck lights to eliminate trip hazards, and embedded LED docking lights at the bow.
Helm and Control Station
The helm features a fiberglass module topped with a smoked, non-glare windscreen, providing clear visibility even on bright days. Instrumentation consists of white-faced gauges with chrome bezels and anti-fog lenses, complemented by an optional depth gauge. The leather-wrapped, three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base for ergonomic adjustment. Controls are positioned at a 45-degree angle and include a stereo remote, USB and audio inputs, a 12-volt power supply, and a mount for an MP3 player. Although the controls felt somewhat stiff initially, they can be easily adjusted by the user. Toggle switches are located below the controls, including a dedicated, authentic horn switch distinguished by its style. An alarm monitor and a captain’s drink holder are conveniently placed within reach. The helm seat offers ample comfort with extra padding and features swivel, slide, and reclining functions. While self-leveling arms are available, the seat remains comfortable without them.
Power and Performance
Powered by a 150 horsepower Evinrude E-Tech engine paired with a 14-inch Viper propeller, the 23 Oasis delivers solid performance. The engine is mounted to an integral transom rather than a separate pod, enhancing structural integrity and ease of maintenance. The boat weighs approximately 3,888 pounds during testing, including fuel, passengers, and engine weight. It achieved a top speed of 32.8 miles per hour at 5,650 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 15.1 gallons per hour, resulting in an estimated range of 86 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The most comfortable cruising speed was found at 3,000 RPM, where the boat traveled at 15.8 miles per hour with a fuel burn of just 4.15 gallons per hour, allowing for a range of 151 miles or nine and a half hours of operation. Acceleration was brisk, with a planing time of 3.4 seconds, 20 mph reached in 4.1 seconds, and 30 mph in 7.6 seconds. Steering requires five turns from lock to lock and is relatively stiff, reflecting the boat’s design focus on stability rather than aggressive maneuvering. The boat leans smoothly into turns thanks to the VP tubes, but higher speeds do not reduce turning radius, only increase turn speed. Proper trim adjustment is necessary to manage spray and prevent propeller ventilation during maneuvers. When power is reduced, the boat settles back into the water with a level attitude.
Conclusion
The Manitou 23 Oasis impresses as a pontoon boat that delivers both comfort and handling characteristics that ease the transition for those accustomed to fiberglass V-hull boats. Its thoughtful hull design, quality construction, and balanced performance make it a versatile choice for pontoon enthusiasts seeking a blend of luxury and sporty capability.
