University Marine is expecting their Manitou line to be a hit this year. The Manitou XT is their luxury line of boats. The XT’s bold, contemporary looks redefine what is expected of a pontoon boat. A true luxury vessel with everything you need for an exceptional experience, it also has an enviable turn of speed.

With joystick control, painted fiberglass walls, and soft vinyl seating, you get a high-class boating adventure that’s pretty hard to beat. Their LX Sport Model is also a thing of beauty. Boasting stunning looks and delivering amazing performance, the new LX handles like nothing else on the water. It carves and banks like a runabout and treats everyone onboard to a thrilling ride – the perfect sport pontoon boat.

For people looking for a general recreational boat, load up days with great times with the well-equipped Oasis. Along with their signature quality and construction, multifunctional rear seats and multiple cup holders, you’ll experience a surprising number of standard features at a budget-pleasing price.
