Patented Pontoon Technology For Your New Boat

When Manitou set out to make a better, faster, more stylish pontoon boat they blew the competition out of the water.

Manitou’s patented V-Toon Technology has many companies clamoring to recreate it but none have come close.

In the next few pages, we’ll take a look at the benefits of what makes V-Toon pontoon boats so superior.

Patented Technology

Other boat manufacturers are touting their V-shape bottoms, but nothing compares to the technology behind V-Toon .

Manitou’s hulls deliver performance like no other pontoon or traditional boat.

Better Acceleration • Greater Top End Speeds • Improved Stability

V-Toon pontoons operate more like traditional v-bottom monohulls than other pontoon boats on the market.

Manitou hulls are designed to heel and as the speed increases this ensures that the ride will be comfortable and safe.

No other pontoon can claim that.

V-Toon

The

Center Tube

The center tube makes all the difference. If it were one inch higher or lower the ride quality, safety, handling, and speed would be compromised.

Size matters – the center tube is a little larger than the two flanking it – this differential was engineered to simulate the water displacement and deadrise of a standard v-hull boat.

Can we compare traditional v-hull boats to V-Toon pontoon boats?

We can, though it doesn’t seem fair for the traditional boats.

The hulls on Manitou boats can heel and bank into turns which gives all the passengers a smoother, safer excursion.

Also, pontoons provide much more space than their traditional boat brethren.

Traditional Boats

Deadrise

Waves and wakes compete for energy. At a certain angle the hull can repel that energy, known as deadrise. All three tubes are positioned at this precise angle.

Dynamic Lift

When a boat rises to the surface of the water because the speed has forced the hull and water to separate.

Pontoons

Do It Better

Flat Bottoms

Three tube pontoons are invariably more stable and float better, but by just adding a third tube, you aren’t improving how the boat will maneuver or operate in the water.

The competition tries to duplicate Manitou’s speed and banking by adjusting their strakes and chines. But these attributes can’t replicate the smooth and agile ride provided by a v-shaped hull.

If you want credible speed with high stability, go with the Sport Handling Package.

These boats are designed to provide a smooth ride whether driving at top speeds or moving in choppy water.

VPs have most of the same V-Toon features as the SHP but are created to be used at less forceful speeds.
