Manitou OASIS: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

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.
