The Michigan-based manufacturer raises the bar for power on the sport and luxury Manitou XT and LX models—now certified with a maximum 900 horsepower rating! Bring friends along for the day, with an adrenaline rush like no other, whether you are going flat out on a glassy lake or bouncing over a wake in a tube or on skis.
The Manitou advantage is not just the higher horsepower, but the Manitou V-Toon technology hull. As speeds increase, the natural ability of a hull to heel becomes increasingly important, not only for comfort, but for safety. Manitou has solved this by doing more than just adding a third tube bolted to the deck of its pontoons. The patented and proven Manitou V-Toon technology was engineered to optimize performance, beginning with the size and precise positioning of the center tube. It is this precise positioning, along with strategically placed positive angle lifting strakes, that results in the exact degree of deadrise and water displacement needed to simulate the standard v-hull. With the right amount of speed and angle of surface, a boat will plane, or lift to the top of the water. This means a Manitou performance hull, found on the VP and Sport Handling Package (SHP) models, will heel into a turn like a racecar on a banked track, providing stability and giving the operator easier handling and more control.
On the other side of the lineup, the 2022 Manitou Aurora LE packs even more premium features for fun for the whole family. Once the sun goes down, the party can continue through the night. The Manitou Aurora LE Premium Package—one of three available packages on this model—features additional LED courtesy and interior lighting, as well as top-of-the-line Fusion stereo components, which add exemplary value to an already incredible design.
And for a bold statement that matches your personality, Manitou refreshed its color schemes on all these models: the Aurora LE, LX and XT. Manitou XT models will surely turn heads on and off the water with brand-new colors including Purple Potion, Chromaflair Pearlescent, Highland Green and Lemon Zest.
The manufacturer just added new two-toned fencing, which adds a lot more variety for you when designing your new Lago boat. The furniture also got a substantial upgrade in the quality of the vinyl since they are now using the same vinyl in the Lago that is used in Misty Harbor’s high-end Diamante Series.
Additionally, several new models are being released to the series including the E, T and their famous Q quad captain chair boat. The Q has been one of its best-sellers in the Diamante Series and Misty Harbor received big praise from dealers and retail customers for bringing the layout to the Lago Series. Lastly, the series also got a big upgrade in its fiberglass helm, adding noticeably more class with its new high-end look.
Misty Harbor’s Diamante Series absolutely exploded last year in popularity across the market so they decided to add several new boat layouts to that series: the E and the T. The T model is a throwback to the old Misty Harbor Biscayne Bay BC, their second most popular selling model. Then the E includes three full-size captain chairs with a lot of bench seating and dry storage options. Their new blue accented furniture is also quite fetching.

This made them realize they could create a concept that allows you to have both, giving you the best of both worlds.
Additionally, South Bay partnered with Weiland Designs, an award-winning company famous for their furniture designs and engineering. They tasked them with giving the South Bay 500 series a face lift and the manufacturer is more than impressed with the turnout.
