SHP PACKAGE:
The Sport Handling Package (SHP) provides the finest in contemporary pontoon-handling technology by supplying the serious boater with a maximum HP from 175 to 300. For superior performance, this craft comes with positive angle lifting strakes and Barracuda nosecone design, which give these SHP pontoon boats the ability to perform optimally even at high speeds and in rough waters. Furthermore, all of our Manitou SHP models include SeaStar Power Assist Hydraulic Steering to give the user unmatched control during their boating excursions.
V-TOON TECHNOLOGY:
More than just a third tube bolted to the deck, this Manitou innovation was engineered to optimize performance, beginning with the size and precise positioning of the center tube. Here's the proof:
The 27 tube, positioned 1.25 lower than the 23 diameter outside tubes, results in a 5.25 differential between the bottom of the center tube and the bottom of the outside tubes. It's 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. Extensive research has confirmed that an inch higher or an inch lower will detrimentally affect ride quality, stability, acceleration, speed, and handling.
LIFTING STRAKE DESIGN
In other words, it's all about balance. Like reverse angle chines on a monohull, negative angle lifting strakes can increase lift, but have negative impacts on ride quality due to increased slamming loads. By contrast, our strakes facilitate a smooth ride and enhance the nimble reflexes of a V-Toon. Are strakes detrimental to performance when placed on the outside of the lateral tubes? That may be true on our competitors' boats, which are less agile and less predictable at higher speeds, but not ours. When speed and agility are what you desire, only the V-Toon hull can deliver.
SUZUKI:
Suzuki's 250SS started it all. The first V6 4-Stroke that was specifically built to power tournament Bass Boats, larger Flats Boats, Performance Pontoon Boats and even serious Ski Boats. The other guys were quick to notice and built a few copy cat outboards. But nothing comes close to the DF250SS... a Big Block "Hot Rod" that will put an ear-to-ear grin on the face of any boater with a need for speed and power. Now available in Shadow Black Metallic and for the "Special Ops Guys", you can opt for the Matte Black finish.
