The Oasis is Manitou's midgrade toons. I have the Aurora which is their cheapest. From the deck down they are the same. Its just the standard features, more options and seating is different.
If that's a 23 Oasis (over 24 foot on the deck) then that's a really good price. That's a heavy boat. Around 3000 pounds dry weight. 150 should push it mid to upper 30's lightly loaded.
Should have the option for the 10 year warranty.
My boat is a 21 Aurora (over 22 foot on the deck). Its 42 MPH with a light load. The 150 HO G2 is like driving a sports car compared to the 4 strokes. Just a lot more fun and the power steering is awesome.
The G1 should be a good fit. But you do have to add oil and will probably be a little less MPG's than the 4 strokes.
The other 2 boats listed would have to be 3 to 4 grand cheaper for me to buy them.
They would be considered your budget brands. Nothing wrong them.
