American Water Sports is pleased to offer this pre-owned 2021 Manitou 23VP - a premium-tier 23-foot performance pontoon from Manitou Pontoon Boats, the Lansing, Michigan-based builder famous for the proprietary V-Toon hull design that delivers sportier handling, better cornering, and higher top speed than a standard tri-toon configuration. Available at our Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-KC-4036I, Hull #TII4036IH021), this 23VP is powered by a 150-horsepower 4-stroke outboard and represents a near-current-vintage entry into Manitou ownership at a meaningful pre-owned savings vs. a comparable 2026 Manitou build. The "VP" designation specifically indicates Manitou's V-Toon Performance configuration - the brand's signature hull treatment that places a V-shaped third pontoon center-line between the two outer cylindrical tubes. The result is a pontoon that handles substantially more like a fiberglass deck boat than a typical pontoon - sharper turn-in, less side-to-side roll at speed, and the kind of athletic on-water character that defines Manitou's reputation as the performance-tuned premium pontoon brand. For the buyer who wants premium-tier pontoon ownership with genuinely differentiated handling at a near-current-vintage price point, this 2021 23VP is one of the more interesting pre-owned pontoons in our inventory.
Why a Manitou Pontoon?
Manitou Pontoon Boats has been building premium pontoons in Lansing, Michigan since 1984 - the company has established itself as one of the most-distinctive premium pontoon brands through the proprietary V-Toon hull design and a focused performance-tuned product positioning. In 2020 Manitou was acquired by Marine Products Corporation (the parent company of Chaparral Boats and Robalo), bringing additional engineering, parts logistics, and dealer-network resources to the brand. The V-Toon hull design specifically is Manitou's signature - rather than the standard tri-toon configuration where three identical cylindrical pontoons support the deck, the V-Toon places a V-shaped center pontoon between two outer cylindrical tubes. The V-shape delivers measurably better hydrodynamics at speed: sharper turn-in response, less side-to-side roll in cornering, faster planing transition, and higher top speed than a comparable standard tri-toon. Manitou's lineup runs across the Cruise, Aurora, Oasis, Explore, Encore, and X-Plode families - the 23VP designation indicates the 23-foot length with V-Toon Performance hull configuration. For the buyer who wants premium pontoon ownership with genuinely differentiated performance, Manitou is the brand to look at.
150 HP 4-Stroke Outboard - Premium Mid-Range Power
Power on this 23VP comes from a 150-horsepower 4-stroke outboard - typically a Yamaha F150, Mercury 150, or comparable factory configuration depending on original-owner specification. With 150hp on a 23-foot V-Toon pontoon, this 23VP has the right power-to-length ratio for genuine watersports tow capability (tubing and skiing without complaint), comfortable cruise speeds, and the sportier handling character that the V-Toon hull enables. 4-stroke outboards in this horsepower range deliver the kind of smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient running character that defines modern outboard ownership: significantly better fuel economy than older two-strokes, substantially lower noise levels, and longer service intervals between routine maintenance. For exact engine make and model verification (Yamaha vs. Mercury vs. Honda) and current engine hour reading on this 150hp, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build specifics.
V-Toon Performance Hull - Sportier Handling Than a Standard Pontoon
The V-Toon hull design is what genuinely separates a Manitou 23VP from every other pontoon at this size class. Standard tri-toon pontoons use three identical cylindrical pontoons spaced across the boat's beam - durable and stable but with the typical pontoon-handling characteristics: slow turn-in, noticeable side-to-side roll in cornering, and modest top speed. The V-Toon configuration replaces the standard center pontoon with a V-shaped tube - wider at the top, narrower at the bottom, with a shape that produces hydrodynamic lift and bank-into-the-turn cornering behavior similar to a fiberglass V-bottom. The result is a pontoon that turns flatter, holds speed in corners, transitions to plane faster, and runs measurably higher top speed for a given horsepower than a comparable standard tri-toon. For the buyer who wants premium pontoon ownership but is frustrated by standard pontoon handling characteristics, the V-Toon is the right answer - and Manitou is the brand that originated and continues to refine this hull architecture.
Premium Pontoon Layout - Cockpit, Bow Lounge & Stern Lounge
The 23VP cockpit layout reflects Manitou's premium-platform engineering. Standard 23VP features from this vintage typically include premium upholstery construction, a wide-open bow lounge with wraparound passenger seating, a premium captain's chair at the helm, generous stern lounge seating, integrated cup holders, marine stereo, helm gauges, navigation lights, ski-tow eye, boarding ladder at the rear gate, and the kind of integrated storage throughout that premium-tier pontoon buyers expect. Bimini top equipment (when fitted) provides cockpit shade for anchored-out lounging on hot summer afternoons. For specific furniture configuration, exterior pontoon and fence color, interior upholstery color, Bimini condition, and any owner-added accessories on this specific 23VP, see the build specifics section below or contact our Kimberling City team for the in-person walkthrough.
A 2021 Manitou - Near-Current-Vintage Pre-Owned Pontoon
Four model years on a current-platform Manitou 23VP is the sweet spot for a pre-owned premium-pontoon purchase. Manitou has been refining the V-Toon Performance platform since the company's founding in 1984, and a 2021 build represents the platform after decades of incremental factory iteration - fully-sorted, mature, current architecture. Aluminum pontoon construction also ages exceptionally well - the pontoon tubes themselves are essentially indestructible welded aluminum, and the deck, cockpit fixtures, vinyl flooring, premium furniture, and Bimini canvas on a properly-stored four-year-old Manitou will typically present in clean, near-as-delivered condition. For the buyer looking at near-current-vintage premium pontoons at meaningful pre-owned savings vs. a brand-new 2026 build, this 2021 23VP is one of the more interesting near-current-vintage Manitou builds available.
