Looking at a 2006 22' Manitou Legacy to buy

Can you all give me feedback on it? It is a 2006 Legacy 22' 115 HP. Not very familiar with this manufacturer. I have looked at their website but I can not find any info on the 2006 models. Top speed? Any pros or cons on this boat? What is a good price for this boat, it has 40 hours on it. How is it to launch and to haul out?

Many Thanks,

Boatin Bill

Hi,

It has a 2 stroke Evinrude DI w/ 115 hp. The trailer is new with the boat. Previous owner ran it last season for 40 hours total ( bought from the same dealer ) wrecked a motorcycle then sold it back to dealer - now I am looking at it.
I plan on running it on the Finger Lakes in NY, Keuka primarily. But will have the need to haul it around from time to time.

Thanks,

Boating Bill

If the boat is a 2 toon low to mid 20's if it is a tripple toon mid to upper 20's with the 115.

Manitou (in my opinion) is a mid level boat and would be a good purchase to look at, plus so far they are still in business that is a good sign!

For me loading the pontoon is a piece of cake, loaded a ski and fishing boat for years so parking this thing on the trailer is just simple. A trailer with guides makes it a breeze.

The upright posts in this picture are the guides i am talking about. Mne run horizontial with the bunks which I like better than this picture.
