Performance
V-Toon® Technology

We raised expectations through a revolutionary redesign of the traditional pontoon hull and in the process raised the heart rate of the entire boating community. Better hole shots, quicker to plane, higher top end speeds, unrivaled handling and increased stability in rough water are all hallmarks of the Manitou performance-minded pontoon boat. We challenge you to raise your own expectations (and heart rate) by test driving a Manitou. We're confident you'll agree that a Manitou pontoon boat is all the boat you'll ever need.

V-Toon® Technology

Our most economical hull design. Ideal for slower cruising but stable enough for a full load of passengers. Although typically paired with smaller engines, the twin hull design can still pull tubers and lighter skiers but with less acceleration and more limited turning ability.

V-Toon® Technology

The new VP offers boaters a much wider range of mid-level performance. The VP will pop-out of the water easier and plane at speeds into the upper 30s with a maximum 150 HP. The VP uses positive angle lifting strakes on the center tube to provide a much smoother, higher ride on rougher water.

V-Toon® Technology

The SHP is a trademarked evolution of the triple tube. The SHP hull is a combination of a larger and deeper center tube, positive angle lifting strakes, and our signature Barracuda nosecones. Hallmarks of this hull are improved efficiency, maneuverability, and ride.
