I decided on the Manitou after I drove the san pan and the bennington, there was no way to even compare the ride. As for the harris, I just sold mine . The construction and lack of rattles on the manitou were far more solid than my harris ever was. With 6 people and all five dogs this boat still chugs along at 46 mph by the gps onboard.It leans into turns just like a ski boat even with a load of friends on board. From what I have read on the boat it is even the only pontoon ever certified by the american waterski assoc.. I burn about 2.5-3 gallons of fuel per hour at 3600 rpm with the 225 honda(about 34 mph) with an average load of 5 people. It snatches up skiers on one or two skiis as good as my mastercraft, and is quiet as can be. The only boat I drove that even came close in performance was a bennington, but half way through a wide open turn, it quit leaning into the turn and rolled outward, even dumped the salesman in the floor! I have found no defects in my boat so far, and lake martin dock co says just raise the bunks on the boatlift 5 inches to accomidate the center tube......hope this info helps. I love the boat and I never thought I would say that about a pontoon boat...
