2027 Manitou 25 Encore RF

The 2027 Manitou 25 Encore RF is a 26-foot aluminum pontoon built to handle serious water time. It runs a Mercury 250 hp four-stroke engine and accommodates up to 13 passengers. The hull sits on three pontoon tubes measuring 23, 27, and 23 inches in diameter, with lifting strakes on all tubes for better handling and response. Dry weight comes in at 3,420 pounds.

The helm features a raised fiberglass station with a high-back recliner helm chair and slider. A nine-inch Garmin Echomap Plus chartplotter provides navigation and depth information. The cabin includes a dinette table, tempered glass windscreen, and premium JL Audio stereo system with a six-channel amplifier and subwoofer. A 43-gallon V-Toon fuel tank supports extended cruising.

Standard equipment includes a bimini top with boot, mooring cover, and interior blue LED lighting throughout. The helm chair is fitted with hands-free seat hinges. A wide four-step rear-entry ladder and stainless steel dockguard complete the package. Construction uses extruded aluminum crossmembers, stainless steel fasteners, and powder-coated components throughout. The boat carries an NMMA certification built to ABYC standards.
