LANSING, Mich., Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - For decades, BRP
(TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) has been creating amazing on-water
experiences for families and friends and the new Manitou lineup
continues that tradition. Manitou unveils its model year 2022
lineup, which brings more power and premium features to an already
impressive offering of performance, luxury and leisure pontoon
boats.
"The best days on the water are those that can't easily be put
into words, with memories that will last a lifetime," said
Garrett Koschak, Manager, Global
Product Strategy, Manitou. "That's our focus every single day at
Manitou. Being on the water is a unique opportunity to spend time
with family and friends, and whether you're looking to have a
relaxing cruise or ultimate thrills, Manitou has a model that is
perfect for you."
Constantly innovating to give boaters the little moments that
add up to big memories, Manitou raises the bar for power on the
sport and luxury Manitou XT and LX models – now certified with a
maximum 900 horsepower rating. Bring friends along for the day,
with an adrenaline rush like no other, whether you're going flat
out on a glassy lake or bouncing over a wake in a tube or on
skis.
The Manitou advantage is not just the higher horsepower, but the
Manitou V-Toon Technology hull. As speeds increase, the natural
ability of a hull to heel becomes increasingly important, not only
for comfort, but safety. Manitou has solved this by doing more than
just adding a third tube bolted to the deck of its pontoons. The
patented and proven Manitou V-Toon technology was engineered to
optimize performance, beginning with the size and precise
positioning of the center tube. 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. With the right amount of
speed and angle of surface, a boat will plane, or lift to the top
of the water. This means a Manitou performance hull, found on the
VP and Sport Handling Package (SHP) models, will heel into a turn
like a racecar on a banked track, providing stability and giving
the operator easier handling and more control.
For even more control and peace of mind, boaters can add an
optional Mercury® VesselView® display, which
allows them to monitor engine data and access select
SmartCraft® engine controls on one intuitive digital
interface. In addition, with optional Mercury Joystick Piloting for
Outboards (JPO) controls, low-speed maneuvering on a
Mercury-equipped Manitou boat becomes as easy as moving the
joystick in the direction you want to go. JPO provides confident
handling around docks and other obstacles, whether you are a new or
experienced boater.
On the other side of the lineup, the 2022 Manitou Aurora LE,
packs even more premium features for fun for the whole family. Once
the sun goes down, the party can continue through the night. The
Manitou Aurora LE Premium Package – one of three available packages
on this model – features additional LED courtesy and interior
lighting, as well as top-of-the-line Fusion stereo components which
add exemplary value to an already incredible design.
And for a bold statement that matches your personality, Manitou
refreshed its color schemes on all these models : the Aurora LE, LX
and XT. Manitou XT models will surely turn heads on and off the
water with brand new colors including Purple Potion, Chromaflair
Pearlescent, Highland Green, and Lemon Zest.
