Review: 2022 Manitou Pontoon Boat Oasis Series 23 Oasis RF 373
Pontoon boats have always been revered for their stability, spaciousness, and versatility on the water. They are the perfect vessels for leisurely cruises, lively parties, and casual fishing trips, and in recent times, they have taken several leaps forward when it comes to design, performance and luxury. A prime example of this new standard in pontoon boat design is the 2022 Manitou Pontoon Boat Oasis Series 23 Oasis RF 373, a perfect blend of practicality and luxury.
This boat plays host to an array of standard accessories, designed with the users’ comfort and convenience in mind. A 12 Volt Outlet, USB Port and Aux In take care of all your technology needs while an extended starboard chaise, built-in cupholders, and a soft side cooler create an environment primed for relaxation. The privacy station assembly in chaise adds a touch of convenience, even more so if it were paired with a Porta Potti.
As practical is it may be, the 2022 Manitou Oasis RF 373 does not compromise on style. The understated elegance of the Verona steering wheel compliments the Matrix Marine Vinyl furniture perfectly, creating an air of class and sophistication. The Bimini Top and Boot, along with a color matched mooring cover, protect this beauty from the elements, preserving its sleek and stylish appearance.
When it comes to construction quality, Manitou hits it out of the park with powder coated corner castings and heavy duty, powder-coated wall tubing. The deck promises a limited lifetime warranty and the fasteners have been meticulously crafted from stainless steel to ensure durability and longevity. Showcasing an NMMA certification using ABYC standards, this pontoon boat has a full-length pontoon tube riser which further reinforces its strength and resilience.
Lighting and sound are not afterthoughts in this design. Boaters are treated to LED Bimini Anchor Light, in-wall LED docking and navigation lights and courtesy LED light. Additionally, the Kicker KMC45 Bluetooth Stereo accompanied by four standard speakers puts entertainment at the helm of your cruises.
This boat is also fairly sizable, with an overall length and deck of 24'4" and 23'10" respectively. It boasts a capacity to carry 12 persons or 1,715 lbs and can support a maximum horsepower of 250. With an invoice at $43,877, as opposed to an MSRP of $54,846, this pontoon boat presents itself as great value for money.
In conclusion, if you're in the market for a pontoon boat that doesn't skimp on luxury, comfort or performance, yet offers a favorable deal, the 2022 Manitou Pontoon Boat Oasis Series 23 Oasis RF 373 is definitely worth considering. Its mix of practical design, comfort, and superior construction quality truly sets it apart in the market.
