Manitou 25 Legacy SL - Review 2023

Ideal for cruising and entertaining, the Manitou 25 Legacy SL combines solid performance with high-quality features to provide you and your crew with the perfect day out on the water.

Designed with luxury and comfort in mind, the SL which stands for stern lounger gives you a variety of seating positions. You can use it as a forward-facing or rear-facing lounge or fully reclined thus creating a comfortable sunbed for the ultimate comfort.

And to add that extra pampering for you and your guests, the stern lounge also comes with a remote stereo control and eight stainless-steel cup holders. It doesn’t get more relaxing than this.

Also, vinyl plush cushions with a fine quilted stitching pattern, hands-free seat hinges with storage underneath, rotomolded seat bases, a Bimini top, a dinette table, four stainless-steel cleats, and a portside changing room.

When in the mood to hit the water either for swimming or practicing some sports, you’ll find a ladder for easy access in and out as well as a ski tow bar.

The fiberglass helm station comes with a digital vessel control, a Garmin GPS map 742 XS, Teleflex SeaStar Power Assist steering, a tilt steering wheel, a 12V outlet, USB and Auxiliary inputs, a JL MM50 Bluetooth Stereo, and plenty of room on the side and below the helm to store your valuables.

The positive angle lifting strokes of its three tubes gives the Manitou 25 Legacy SL a performance similar to a traditional V-hull. Powered by a 300 HP Evinrude G3, it can reach over 48 mph.
