Manitou 25 LX RFX: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Manitou 25LX-RFX dual engine pontoon boat combines luxury features with high performance capabilities. This 26-foot, 8-inch vessel is designed for both comfort and speed, equipped with twin Mercury Verado 300 horsepower engines and a thoughtfully crafted layout that caters to water sports enthusiasts and leisure boaters alike.

Exterior Design and Seating Layout

The boat's exterior showcases a distinctive RFX seating arrangement featuring fiberglass bases that encircle two 52-inch forward-facing loungers. Upholstered with upscale marine matte materials, the seats incorporate intricate stitching that matches the orange-themed accents throughout the boat, including thread, padding, and fiberglass elements. Courtesy LED lighting is integrated beneath the seats, complementing the six-speaker JL audio system with two tower speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer. The seating area provides ample space between seats, accommodating a high-end black acrylic table with integrated beverage holders. Storage is strategically placed under side and corner seats, while battery compartments and steering pumps are housed beneath others. The captain and admiral chairs offer exceptional comfort with features such as flip armrests, reclining backs, and a flip-up footrest. Wrap-around seating extends across the bow, including an optional center seat with matching upholstery and color-coordinated piping.

Water Sports and Deck Features

Designed as a capable water sports platform, the 25LX-RFX includes a power tower with a tow point positioned seven feet above the deck, integrated navigation lighting, and a Garmin VIRB camera mount controllable from the helm display. Multiple aft-facing observer seats and an additional tow point between the engines enhance functionality. The boat features a four-step reboarding ladder with robust handrails and sizable swim platforms at both stern and bow. The deck is finished with silver Luna woven matting, and three boarding gates provide convenient access, though the midship gate lacks a magnetic catch to hold it open. A large, centrally located storage tube spans over seven feet in length, equipped with a lift-and-lock latch and gas-assist strut. Four six-inch cleats are positioned around the boat, though flip-up versions would reduce trip hazards. The power tower can be lowered for clearance under low bridges, with an automatic stop to prevent windshield damage, though it is not designed for trailering in the lowered position.

Helm and Operational Features

The helm is outfitted with a tempered glass windshield and a seven-inch Garmin multifunction display that integrates switching controls, eliminating the need for separate switches except for the horn. A padded side surface offers space for personal items, though it lacks a raised edge to secure them. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base, accompanied by Mercury digital throttle and shift controls, ignition, and a Mercury docking joystick. The helm platform is elevated two inches above the deck with beveled edges for ease of access. Storage compartments include glove storage and console access. The captain’s high-back chair mirrors the comfort features of the admiral’s chair, excluding the footrest.

Power and Performance

Powered by twin Mercury Verado 300 horsepower engines equipped with advanced midsections and paired with 23-pitch Revolution 4 propellers, the 25LX-RFX delivers impressive performance. The Manitou SHP 575 hull incorporates patented V-Tune technology, featuring a lowered 27-inch center tube relative to the 25-inch outer tubes, Barracuda nose cones, spray deflectors, and strakes for enhanced handling. The hull is reinforced with a billet aluminum transom and sealed motor pods. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 62 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM. Economical cruising at 2,500 RPM yielded 22 miles per hour with a fuel burn of nine gallons per hour, translating to 2.4 miles per gallon and a range of 198 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration tests showed zero to 20 mph in 4.8 seconds, 30 mph in 6.6 seconds, 40 mph in 9.1 seconds, and 50 mph in 11.7 seconds. Handling at high speeds remained comfortable and stable, with the V-Tune hull technology providing a natural leaning feel in turns.

Optional Packages and Specifications

The 25LX-RFX is available with three option packages. The Limited package includes center tube storage, woven flooring, and LED lighting for pedestal bases, tables, and exterior. The Premium package adds color-matched fiberglass. The Platinum package, featured on the test boat, further includes a sport tower and an optional key fob controlling tower lighting, stereo, and master power. The boat measures 26 feet, 8 inches in length overall, with an 8-foot, 6-inch beam and a draft of 22 inches. Its empty weight is 4,161 pounds, with an estimated test weight of 6,071 pounds including half fuel, two passengers, and test power.

Conclusion

The Manitou 25LX-RFX dual engine pontoon boat successfully blends luxury appointments with high-performance engineering. Its thoughtfully designed seating, advanced hull technology, and powerful twin engines provide both comfort and exhilarating speed. The comprehensive feature set and optional packages make it a versatile choice for water sports enthusiasts seeking a premium pontoon experience without compromising on performance or style.
